Ptolemy is very clear on the seven mouths he assigns for the river Indus. Sagapa(110⁰ 20’ , 19⁰ 50’) is the most western mouth of Indus; the next mouth Sinthon is at 110⁰ 40’ , 19⁰ 50’ ;  the 3^rd mouth is called Khrysoun(the Golden) 111⁰ 20’, 19⁰ 50 ; the 4^th mouth Kariphron 111⁰ 40’, 19⁰ 50’ ; the 5^th mouth Sapara 112⁰ 30’, 19⁰ 50’ ; the 6^th mouth Sabaiaessa 113⁰ , 20⁰ 15’ ; and the 7^th or the last mouth is Lonibare 113⁰ 30’ , 20⁰ 15’ .

What he saw in his own eyes he put them into his Maps and into his book. How can we after a gap of two thousand years of his time, find wrong in his geographical accounts? 

Ptolemy’s accounts are correct to the pie; those who studied his maps and his book rather have used their academic position to speak differently and have changed the contents of his Geography because they see this river at a quite different location from what Ptolemy saw. His name Ptolemy identifies first his nativity at Tola, a place which has gone into the pages of both the Tibetan Dulva, and the Bible. Scholars did not try to connect it with the classical Ptolemais and the river Nile region’s wonderful history of the past.

Strabo, following Eratosthenes, marks the Indus as the western boundary of ‘India’, and this is the general established view from the ancient times, and it should not be altered. Ptolemy, going one step forward, includes within the region of ancient India, the lands which are situated to the west of Indus.

Why scholars put Baluchisthan and Afghanistan in this region? Have they located Mt Imaos? Have they read the accounts of the Sixteen Good-lands of the Avesta? Those who committed this mistake changed the geographical accounts not only of ancient India but also of the regions of Afghanistan, Baluchistan and also of Pakistan. This made a different picture of the ancient India which is not linked in any way to the geographical situation of the present political India.

The rivers which flow from Mt Imaos into the Indus are arranged as follows(pp.81-) ;

Sources of the river Koa : 120⁰ 37⁰ ;

Sources of the river Souastos :122⁰ 30’ 36⁰ ;

Sources of the river Indus : 125⁰ 37⁰ ;

Sources of the river Bidaspes : 127⁰ 30’ , 36⁰ 40’ ;

Sources of the river Sandabal : 129⁰ 36⁰ ;

Sources of the river Adris or Rouadis : 130⁰ 37⁰ ;

Sources of the river Bibasis : 131⁰,  35⁰ 30’;

Regarding the origin and meaning of the name Indus, Max Muller(I(India, What it can teach us) says : ‘ In the Vedas we have a number of names of the rivers of India as they were known to one single poet, say about 1000 B.C. We then hear nothing of India till we come to the days of Alexander, and when we look at the names of the Indian rivers represented by Alexander’s companions in India, we recognise without much difficulty nearly all of the Vedic names’.

This is a completely a wrong statement from a very widely respected author who has been wildly quoted by most of the later day scholars. By so saying, Max Muller omitted the 6^th c B.C. world’s history that includes the time of the Buddha. This wrong approach of scholars which do not give the due space to Pali accounts to get historical academic recognition has vitiated the world history which is now reflected in case of the Indus river. Before Alexander’s time, there is 6^th c B.C. world ; how can one alter the course of history?
