Tue next river is that, which we call the Cane: but its true name js 
Ceyan, and the author, of the Cshétra-samasa, says, that itis the Criya,. 
or Criydéna of the Purdias, and called Ceyan in ‘the spoken dialects. 
Another name for itis Crishna-ganga, which, according to the Vardha- 
puraia flows by Célanjara. 
Ler us now pass to the rivers to the north of the Ganges, or on the left 
of it. The first is the Sardvati, or full of reeds: another name of the same 
import is Béxia-gangé, this is used by natives: in the Maha-bharata, it 
is called Su-Vama, or most beautiful: its present name, and of the same 
import is Rama-ganga, or ey ace aie ed. In the Saravan, or Saraban, 
that is to say the thickets of reeds on its banks, Carrick'ya was born. 
This name is sometimes applied to the river itself, though improperly, and 
from Saraban, Provemy made Sarabon and Sarabos. It is called Su- 
shomda, in the Bhagavat, or the most beautiful. It may be also translated 
the beautiful Shoma or Soma. 
In the Amara-cosa, and commentary, it is called Sausamé in a deriva-

extensive country of Usinara. ‘The reason for its being introduced into 
that cone is, “ because, there is in it a city called Cant’ha, and Sau-sami- 
« cantha. This word is of the neuter gender, provided the compound 
“ term be the name of a town in Usinara, else it is feminine. Example; 
“« Squ-sami-cantha, and Dacshina-cant?ha names, of towns; the first in 
< Usinara, the other out of that country.* These two towns still exist:
