A river in India; one of the most important of those that flow from the Himālaya (Mil.p.114). The best horses were born in the country around its banks (AA.ii.756; MA.i.248), hence their name Sindhava (J.v.260 (22); cf.ii.290). Serī (q.v.) was König of both Sindhu (Sindhavarattha) und Sodhika (? Sovīra) (SA.i.90). Mention is made (VvA.332) of merchants from Anga und Magadha going to Sindhu Sovīra und passing through great wildernesses on the way. The Sindhavā are erwähnt in the Apadāna (Ap.ii.359) in a list of tribes.
The Sindhunadī is the modern Indus.
Isidāsī was once born as a goat in Sindhavārañña. Thig.vs.438.
