Drṣadvatī, ‘stony,’ is the name of a river which flows into the Sarasvatī after running for a time parallel to it. It is mentioned in the Rigveda,¹ along with the Sarasvatī and the Āpayā, as the scene of action of the Bharata princes. In the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa² and later³ the Drṣadvatī and the Sarasvatī are the scene of special sacrifices. In Manu⁴ these two rivers form the western boundary of the Middle Country.
