Vedic Reference
English
Ārjīka^1 and Ārjīkīya^2 (masc.), Ārjīkīyā^3 (fem.). — The two
masculine forms probably denote the people or land, while the
feminine word designates the river of the land. Hillebrandt^4
locates the country in or near Kaśmir, as Arrian^5 mentions
Arsaces, brother of Abhisares, who presumably took his name
from his people, and Abhisāra bordered on Kaśmir. Pischel^6
accepts Ārjīka as designating a country, which he, however,
thinks cannot be identified. But neither Roth^7 nor Zimmer^8
recognizes the word as a proper name. On the other hand,
all authorities agree in regarding Ārjīkīyā as the name of a
river. Roth^9 does so in one passage^10 only, elsewhere seeing
references to Soma vessels
but it seems necessary to treat the
word alike in all passages containing it. Zimmer does not
locate the river, and Pischel denies the possibility of its
identification. Hillebrandt thinks it may have been the
Upper Indus, or the Vitastā (the Jhelum), or some other
stream. Grassmann follows Yāska^11 in identifying it with the
the Vipāś (Beäs), but this is rendered improbable by the
position of the name in the hymn in praise of rivers (nadī-
stuti).^12 Brunnhofer^13 identifies it with the Arghesan, a tributary
of the Arghanab.
