The *Brahmachārin* of the *Atharva Veda* (XI, 5, 6) is described as a person wandering to the Eastern Ocean. The *Pūrva Samudra* (Eastern Ocean) is known to the *Rig Veda* (X, 136) too. The *nāvah samudriyāh* (*Rig*, I, 25, 7) or sea-going vessels need not be taken as referring to the Western Ocean alone but to the Eastern as well.
