c9.s1.1

We have now to relate the Rigveda to space and locality. Unfortunately, its evidence only indicates in a general way the geographical limits within which the Ṛishis had lived, moved, and had their being, revealing or composing its truths or hymns, and playing their part in the political history of the regions concerned. There is no evidence pointing to individual or particular seats of learning. Rigvedic India is marked out by its rivers, some twenty-five of which are mentioned.
