| | IMAGINING RIVER SARASVATI |
| | 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". | | | The assumption of a very broad river course is apparently too valuable to let go if the Hakra is to serve as the course of the Sarasvati, "a mighty river" in the time of the Rigveda (ibid,p.483). |

| | Even those who believed that Sarasvati was the main river and Sutlej was meeting it, attribute the drying up of the Sarasvati to the diversion of Sutlej waters. | | | Drishadvati, according to him, was a major tributary of the Sarasvati and was fed by the Yamuna. | | | In other words, the Sarasvai must have had a source river in the Himalaya; the Sarasvati must have lost this source river either due to a diversion or tapping, as indicated by the sharp bend near Rupar (Fig. |
