Answer 2

• The Sapta Sindhu refers to the region of the seven sacred rivers mentioned in the Rigveda and in the Zend Avesta.
• It comprises of the areas in Punjab and eastern Pakistan. The Vedic land encompasses the land of the seven rivers extending from Gandhara to Kurukshetra. The Sapta Sindhu area has the river Saraswati in the east and the Sindhu in the west. The Satudru, Vipasa, Asikni, Parusni and Vitasta are the five rivers which lie in between them.

Some researchers say that the Sapta Sindhu refers only to the river Saraswati and its tributaries. This means that the Sapta Sindhava region includes Haryana and a part of north Rajasthan. It was the original homeland of the Bharata Trutsu tribe.
