| | IMAGINING RIVER SARASVATI |
| | This is suspected to have happened with the Sidhnai reach of the Ravi, which is a very straight channel that turned the Ravi away from its pre-16th-century course east of Multan. | | | Yet her seven sisters are treated as recalling the sapta sindhavah, the Seven Rivers, of frequent occurrence in the Rigveda, referring obviously to the Indus and her tributaries. | | | For one thing, the River Hymn, X.75, when read as a whole rules out any claim that can be made on behalf of the Sarasvati to having been "mightier than the Indus". |
