rapti nadi / iravati
- poorv-uttar pradesh ki rapti ka bhi prachin nam iravati tha.
- yah nadi kushinagar ke nikat bahati thi. jaisa ki buddhacharit [1] ke ullekh se soochit hota hai-
'is tarah kushinagar ate samay chuand ke sath tathagat ne iravati nadi par ki aur svayan us nagar ke ek upabhavan mean thahare jahaan kamaloan se sushobhit ek prashant sarovar sthit tha.'
- achiravati ya ajiravati iravati ke vaikalpik roop ho sakate haian.
- buddhacharit ke chini-anuvad mean is nadi ke lie 'kuku' shabd hai jo pali ke kukuttha ka chini roop hai.
- buddhacharit [2] mean varnan hai ki nirvan ke poorv gautam buddh ne hiranyavati nadi mean snan kiya tha jo kushinagar ke upavan ke samip bahati thi. yah iravati ya rapti ki hi ek shakha jan p dati hai.
- smith ke vichar mean yah gandak hai jo thik nahian jan p data.
- buddhacharit [3] ke anusar buddh ki mrityu ke pashchat malloan ne unake sharir ke dahasanskar ke lie hiranyavati nadi ko par karake mukutachaity ke niche chita banaee thi.
- sanbhav hai mahabharat [4] ka varavatya bhi rapti hi ho.
