#Ghaggar was the #Ancient #SarayuRiver
We have suggested that Ayodhya of #Lord #Rama was located a #Ghuram in #Patiala . If that is true, then the #SarayuRiver, besides which the #ancient Ayodhya was located, should also flow near Ghuram. In this post we provide evidence from the Rig Veda to suggest that the Ghaggar River that flows near Ghuram was the ancient Sarayu River.
#SaraswatiRiver | #IndusValleyCivilization|#Archaeology
The Saraswati is the most venerated river in the #Ri Veda. #Archaeologists often identify her with the #Sarsuti River that flows through Pehowa in Haryana and falls into the Ghaggar in #Rajasthan. This identification of the Saraswati with the Ghaggar is the basis of identifying the civilization in North India along the banks of the Ghaggar River in the 3rd millennium BCE as Sindhu-Saraswati Civilization.
Our suggestion is that the Rig Vedic Saraswati could instead be the Saraswati River flowing west from #Pushkar and is known as #Luni in her downstream stretches in Rajasthan. Thus, we have two possibilities before us. The Rig Vedic Saraswati could be the #Sarsuti-Ghaggar in #Haryana-Rajasthan or the Saraswati-Luni in Rajasthan. We now examine whether the descriptions of the Saraswati River in the Rig Veda match with the Sarsuti-Ghaggar or the Saraswati-Luni.
Threefold Source of Saraswati in Veda
The Rig Veda says that the Saraswati River had a “threefold” source (6.61.12).The Sarsuti River emerges from a number of nondescript seasonal streams that emerge between Sedhora and #Chhachhrauli in the foothills of the #Shivalik #Mountains. The Ghaggar River like wise emerges from a number of seasonal hill streams above Chandigarh. There is no indication of three temples or three holy streams at the head of either of these rivers that could suggest a threefold source. On the other hand, the Saraswati River at Pushkar emerges from three lakes—#BudhaPushkar, #MadhyaPushkar and #BrahmaPushkar . Therefore, the Luni-Ghaggar does not match; and the Saraswati-Luni matches with the threefold source told in the Rig Veda.
Three River Basins| #IndusRiver| Saraswati River| Sarayu River
A hymn of the Rig Veda tells us of the #Sindhu, #Sarayu and #Saraswati Rivers: “Let the great streams come hither with their mighty help, #Sindhu, #Saraswati, and Sarayu with waves” (10.64.9). The mention of only these three rivers indicates that these were unique in some special way.
Our suggestion is that the Sindhu, Saraswati and Sarayu refer to three major river basins of these rivers . The Sindhu Basin includes the five rivers of Punjab and the Sindhu River. The Sarayu Basin includes the rivers of Haryana including the west-flowing Yamuna, Somb, Sarsuti, Markanda and the Ghaggar. The Saraswati Basin includes the Sagarmati and north-flowing rivers emerging from the #Aravalli Mountains such as the #Sukhadi. These three basins could be indicated in the mention of the three rivers in the above verse.
This is important because, if Ghaggar was the Sarayu as suggest by us, then she could not be the Saraswati River as held by many scholars.
Each of these three rivers is mentioned as a mighty river elsewhere in the Rig Veda. The mightiness of the Sindhu needs no elaboration. The Rig Veda says that the Saraswati burst the ridges of the hills, slayed the mountains, had a wide tract, and was the mightiest of streams (6:61:2, 6, 8, 11, 13, and 7:96:1).A picture of the Luni at Sanchore . Lastly, the Rig Veda places the mightiness of the Sarayu at par with the Sindhu: “So let not… Sindhu hold you back, Let not the watery Sarayu obstruct your way” (5.53.9).).A picture of the Ghaggar at Hanumangarh . We can see that the river bed of the two rivers is similar and matches with their mightiness.
Archaeologists have not given a clear identification of the Sarayu even though the Rig Veda speaks of it as a mighty river at par with the Sindhu. The Sarayu is often identified with the living Ghaghara-Sarayu River of #UttarPradesh or with an unidentified river of the Sindhu Basin.
