Source: archive.org: The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa (history)Naiwal is the name of a channel into which the river Śatadru flowed, according to F. E. Pargiter in his translation of the Mārkaṇḍeya-purāṇa chapter LVII.—In ancient times this river (Śatadru) probably did not join the Beas, as it does now, but pursued an independent course to the confines of Sindh. It flowed South-West from where it issues from the Himalayas, into the channel called the Naiwal and then along the dry bed called the Hakra or Ghaggar, at a distance of 30 to 50 miles south of, and more or less parallel to, its present course. See Journal, Beng. Asiat. Socy., 1886, Part II. p. 332.
