¹ The pilgrims’ itinerary (MBh iii, 82, 4097–5032) was from Arbuda (Mount Abu) south to Prabhāsa (Somnath), then north to the junction of the Sarasvatī with the sea, south to Dvāravatī (Dwārkā), then to the mouth of the Indus (which must have been partly by sea), and north up the Indus. There is absolutely nothing in historical tradition (which goes back far beyond the Rigveda) to support the conditions conjectured by Abinas Ch. Das in his *Rigvedic India* (map at p. 90), and the whole of tradition negatives them as this and the next two chapters show.
