Book Summary
|
|
In this monograph, K. Chattopadhyaya, the author, re-examines the problem of conceptual entity of Rigvedic River Sarasvati from internal evidences and supports the contention of the German school that there was no river by the name of Sarasvati and it is the original name of the Indus River and it is by the name Sarasvati that the Indus River has been referred to in the Rigveda. He has shown that in the earlier portions of the Rigveda, particularly in the VI and VII Mandalas, Sarasvati means the Sarsuti which flowed through Kurukshetra. As the Aryans advanced from the Indus basin, crossed the Punjab rivers in the Madhyadesa, they gave to the river in Kurukshetra, parallel to the Drsadvati, the name of Sarasvati, which in earlier times meant the Indus. The Indus was first called Sarasvati and occasionally also as Sindhu but since the little stream in Madhyadesa came to appropriate itself that old name, the Indus went by the name of Sindhu alone. The Sarsuti was thus the Eastern Sarasvati. Another section of this study also endeavours to unravel the mystery between the two rivers which had the same name Gomati.
