Q. Which of the following rivers mentioned in the Rigveda is considered to be the westernmost river referenced in the Rig Veda text?
Answer: Kubha
Notes: The Rigveda mentions the Kubha (Kabul) river as the westernmost river in the geographical context of the Rigvedic people, who identified themselves as Aryans. The text outlines a series of rivers from east to west, starting with the Ganga and concluding with the Kubha. This geographical reference provides insights into the understanding of the region's topography and the cultural significance of these rivers to the ancient Aryan civilization. The mention of Kubha not only indicates the extent of the Rigvedic geography but also reflects the socio-economic activities, including trade, that were likely conducted along these waterways.
