⁸²⁹ 'प्रागुदश्वौ विभजते हंसः क्षीरोदकं यथा । विदुषां शब्दसिद्ध्यर्थं सा नः पातु शरावती । इति वैयाकरणाः । अस्याः शरावत्या उदक्तीरनिवर्तिन उदीच्याः ।'. हेमाद्रि quotes on the same sūtra of आप. the same verse with the reading सरस्वती for शरावती and styles it the saying of the ancients (चतुर्वर्ग. III. 1. p. 1350). The अमरकोश makes शरावती the boundary of भारतवर्ष. Is Śarāvatī the modern Rapti, a tributary of the Śarayū, or is it the modern Shirāvati near Honavar in North Canara?
