The Punjab receives its name from the rivers which give to the country its distinctive geographical character. The name, as is well known, means" five waters." And these five waters are the five great rivers which, united, flow into the Indus about 500 miles above its mouth. They are the Jhelum, Chenab, Kavi, Beas, and Sutlej. In early times the country was called the land of the" seven rivers," this number, seven, including, in addition to the five just named, the Indus itself on the one side, and the Saraswati on the other. The modern British province which we call Punjab, the country marked off for administrative purposes as the charge of the Punjab government, is not thus bounded by the distinct lines of one river system. Beyond the Indus, on the west, it reaches to the line of hills that runs for a long distance nearly parallel to the river. And beyond the Sutlej, on the other side, it includes a large tract of plain country as far as the Jumna, a river which has different geographical relations. The ancient seven-river-land had very distinct river boundaries as then understood, and as described in certain ancient writings. The eastern boundary, the Saraswati, has a somewhat obscure history, and presents an interesting geographical problem. The Indus and the other five rivers take their rise in the snows of lofty mountains, and are great streams at all times, being fed from unfailing sources. The Saraswati, on the other hand, rises in the low outer hills, and, receiving its water from the periodical rains only, and the springs which they supply, it is nearly dry for great part of the year, and at flood seasons is quickly filled with a great body of water, which pours violently down and runs rapidly off. It has all disappeared before it can reach the Sutlej or the Indus. But in the ancient writings referred to, it is described as a mighty river like the others.
