http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magadha_Kingdom#Jarasandha.27s_Missile_attack_on_Mathura 

When king Kansa was slain by Vasudeva, an enmity arose between him and Krishna. The mighty king of Magadha from his city of Girivraja, whirling a mace ninety-nine times, hurled it towards Mathura. At that time Krishna of wonderful deeds was residing at Mathura. 

The handsome mace hurled by Jarasandha fell near Mathura at a distance of ninety-nine yojanas from Gririvraja The citizens beholding the circumstance well, went unto Krishna and informed him of the fall of the mace. The place where the mace fell is adjacent to Mathura and is called Gadavasan
