Vedic Reference
EnglishSapta Sindhavaḥ, ‘the seven rivers, ’ occur only once in the
Rigveda as the designation of a definite country, ^1 while else-
where^2 the seven rivers themselves are meant. Max Müller^3
thinks that the five streams of the Panjab, with the Indus and
the Sarasvatī, are intended
others^4 hold that the Kubhā should
be substituted for the Sarasvatī, or that perhaps the Oxus^5
must originally have been one of the seven. Zimmer^6 is prob-
ably right in laying no stress at all on any identifications
‘seven’ being one of the favourite numbers in the Rigveda and
later.
