Hari-yūpīyā is mentioned in a hymn of the Rigveda^1 as the
scene of the defeat of the Vṛcīvants by Abhyāvartin Cāya-
mana. It may denote either a place or a river, since many
battles seem to have been fought on the banks of rivers.
Ludwig^2 took it as the name of a town on the river Yavyāvatī,
which is identified with it in Sāyaṇa's commentary on the
passage. Hillebrandt^3 thinks that it is the river Iryāb (Haliāb),
a tributary of the Kurum (Krumu), but this is not at all
probable.
