1. Anitabhā.
2. Yavyāvatī—identified by Sāyaṇa with Hariyūpīyā ; Hillebrandt identifies it with the Djob.
3. Vipāś—later Vipāśā, modern Beas ; rises in Lahul in the Himalayas, passes through Mandi and the Punjab and joins the Satlaj at Endrisa near Hureki on the borders of Kapurthala.
4. Vibāli.
5. Śiphā.
6. Sarayu—reminds us of the name Sarayū applied to two tributaries of the Ghogra in Eastern U.P., now called Eastern and Western Sarju, though the Ṛgvedic river is often identified by scholars with the united course of the Śutudrī and Vipāś.
7. Suvāstu—modern Swat ; runs through the Peshawar District and joins the Kubhā or Kabul at Nisatha.
8. Hariyūpīyā—the Yavyāvatī according to Sāyaṇa ; Hillebrandt identifies it with the Iranian river Iryab or Haliab ; some scholars are inclined to associate the name with modern Harappa in the Montgomery District.⁹⁰
