These names are present in the column names of the parameter vector:
*----------- begin example --------
sysuse auto, clear
recode rep78 1/2=3
mlogit rep78 price mpg
matrix b = e(b)
*create matrix with the estimates
matrix b = b[1,"4:"]
*select the equation called 4
*in your case you would select eqn1
*by typing: matrix b = b[1,"eqn1:"]
local x : colnames b
*get the column names
local cons "_cons"
local x : list x - cons
*remove the name _cons
di "`x'"
*----------- end example -----------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see:

Hope this helps,
