India history and geography

: archive.org: Nilamata Purana: a cultural and literary study (history)

顿别惫颈办腻 (啶︵啶掂た啶曕ぞ) is the name of a river mentioned in the N墨lamatapur膩峁嘺 that could correspond with the Degh.鈥擳he N墨lamata regards the 顿别惫颈办腻 as an incarnation of Um膩 and locates it in Madra i.e. between Ravi and Cinab. The 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, the Padma Pur膩峁嘺, the K膩lik膩 Pur膩峁嘺, the Matsya Pur膩峁嘺, the V膩mana Pur膩峁嘺, the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottara Pur膩峁嘺, the Amarako艣a, the B峁沨at Sa峁僪it膩, the A峁ａ弓膩dhy膩y墨 and the Mah膩bh膩峁a refer to this river. The account given in the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottara Pur膩峁嘺, agrees closely with that of the N墨lamata.

Pargiter suggested long ago the identification of the 顿别惫颈办腻 river with the Degh stream flowing through the Panjab, but the suggestion was not accepted fully by the scholars. The credit goes to Sh. J. N. Agrawala of the Panjab University for verifying and supporting Pargiter鈥檚 identification, on the basis of the great part which the Degh plays in the production of the good quality of rice and thus proves true to Pata帽jali鈥檚 statement regarding the cultivation of a special variety of rice on the banks of the 顿别惫颈办腻.

context information
