經律異相 3.54

3.54

西流者名恒。南流者名耶云。東流者有兩。一名沙陸。一名阿夷越。北流者名墨。皆流澍于海。立天地來雨落河澍水無增減。去其舊名。合為一海水也（出海八德經）。

The one flowing west is named Gaṅgā; the one flowing south is named Yamunā; those flowing east are two, one named Śarabhū and one named Aciravatī; the one flowing north is named Mahī. They all flow and pour into the ocean. Since the establishment of heaven and earth, rain has fallen and rivers have poured in, yet the water neither increases nor decreases. Casting off their former names, they merge into the water of the one ocean (from the *Sūtra on the Eight Virtues of the Ocean*).
