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. - [Previous: v1.c3.s18.566](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.566) - [Next: v1.c3.s18.568](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.568) - [Up: v1.c3.s18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18) ## Linked texts (3) - [Mānava Dharmaśāstra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.manu) — Manu & Bhṛgu, Sanskrit - [Pañcaviṃśabrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.pancavimsa) — Sanskrit - [Ṛgvedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.rg) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.567](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s18.567) · Pramāṇa
