It may denote either a place or a river, since many battles seem to have been fought on the banks of rivers. Ludwig² took it as the name of a town on the river Yavyāvatī, which is identified with it in Sāyaṇa’s commentary on the passage. Hillebrandt³ thinks that it is the river Iryāb (Haliāb), a tributary of the Kurum (Krumu), but this is not at all probable. - [Previous: v2.c4.s10.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s10.34) - [Next: v2.c4.s10.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s10.36) - [Up: v2.c4.s10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s10.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s10.35) · Pramāṇa
