(i) Ṛcīka was given 1,000 white horses with black ears which could run fast, by Gādhi as dowry. Varuṇa presented these horses on the bank of the river Gaṅgā. The place in Gaṅgā where the horses rose up, came to be called "Aśvatīrtha". Gādhi gave Satyavatī to Ṛcīka at the place called 'Kanyākubja'. (M.B. Araṇya Parva, Chapter 115).
