Purport

The word Rāḍha-deśa comes from the word rāṣṭra, or “state.” From rāṣṭra the perverted word rāḍha has come. The part of Bengal on the western side of the Ganges is known as Rāḍha-deśa. Another name is Pauṇḍra-deśa or Peṅḍo-deśa. The word peṅḍo is a perverted form of the word pauṇḍra. It appears that the capital of Rāṣṭra-deśa was situated in that part of Bengal.
