roadrunner, it is indeed astonishing that you have the motivation to prove an Indian’s knowledge of the rivers of his own country wrong. Either you think you can obfuscate my knowledge about the river Yamuna by pasting a map that anyway concludes my view, or you think you can get away by a sleight of words (Yamuna and Jamna). Anyway, you are blatantly lying, and if you aren’t, then you must be severely deluded. Oh, all this definitely proves that you do not know how to read a map. You could have just googled Yamuna.

Yamuna, Jamna, Jamuna are all one and the same. Yes, it is the one which flows from Haryana, New Delhi and goes and merges into the Ganges in Allahabad in UP, which for your info is Eastern India.

What I have quoted above is fact. The Jamna River does not go into East India. The farthest point is goes is Central India (near Lucknow). (click on the map and expand to see the course of the Jamna River - anyone who thinks that the furthest extent of it is Eastern India, explain how?)

The course of the Jamna River is charted here
"This revered river originates from the Champasar Glacier at an altitude of 4421 m in the state of *Uttaranchal](http://www.haryana-online.com/uttranchal.htm). Some say the source of the river is the Saptarishi Kund, a glacial lake. There is a sacred shrine of Yamunotri or Yamnotri, near this source at an altitude of 3235 m. There is a temple dedicated to the Goddess Yamuna, which remains closed from November to May. At Hanumanchatti, the Hanuman Ganga merges with Yamuna river. Yamunotri finds a special mention in the Hindu mythology. According to a legend, this secluded hilly spot was the home of an ancient sage, Asit Muni.

From *Uttaranchal](http://www.haryana-online.com/uttranchal.htm), the river flows into the state of *Himachal Pradesh](http://www.haryana-online.com/himachal_pradesh.htm). After passing Paonta Sahib, Yamuna flows along the boundary of Haryana](http://www.haryana-online.com/) and Uttar Pradesh](http://www.haryana-online.com/uttar_pradesh.htm) and after exiting Haryana it continues to flow till it merges with the river Ganga (Ganges) at Sangam or Prayag in Allahbad (Uttar Pradesh). The total length of the river is 1,370 km. Its major tributaries are the Chambal and Betwa rivers." *

To summarize, the Jamna River goes nowhere near Eastern India, and the farthest point goes as far as Central India. However this is the most extreme interpretation of the extent of the Vedic Civilization. Much more likely, when the Rig Veda describes the Eastern boundary of the Civilization, it is talking about the straight line boundary of the River at the Haryana/Uttar Pradesh boundary. This is simply the most likely extent of the Vedic Civilization, and of course it would have been concentrated in the Indus area.
