==ऐतिहासिक-भूगोलवर्णनात् उद्धरणम् ॥ Excerpts from the Historical Geography==

The Historical Geography of Ancient India by Bimala Churn Law<ref>Bimala Churn Law (1967), Historical Geography of Ancient India, France: Societe Asiatique De Paris.</ref> beautifully summarizes River Yamuna as: This river is mentioned in the [[Rigveda (ऋग्वेदः)|Rigveda]] (X.75; V.52.17; VII.18.19; X.75.5), [[Atharvaveda (अथर्ववेदः)|Atharvaveda]] (IV.9.10) and the Aitareya Brahmana (VIII.14.4). It is known as Kalinda-kanya because it rises from the Kalinda-giri (Raghuvamsha VI.48). According to the Rigveda (VII.18.19), the Tritsus and Sudas defeated their enemies on this river. The territory of the Tritsus lay between the Yamuna and the Sarasvati on the east and the west respectively.
