"For Ranha, finally, as for Vakereta, Varena, and Hapta Hendu, I believe that the comparison with Vedic or ancient Indian geography is valid: just as for these three countries we consider the comparison with Vaikrta, Varnu, and Sapta Sindhavah significant, so too for the country on the waters of the Ranha we can consider the comparison with the Vedic river Rasa no less significant, which is sometimes mentioned together with Kubha (the Kabul) and Krumu (the Kurram), as in RV V, 53, 9."
