Detailed Solution

Some of the hymns in Rigveda are in the form of dialogues. In this part, the dialogues are between Sage Vishwamitra and Beas and Sutlej rivers.
Historians, like archaeologists, investigate the past by examining written sources and material remnants. Let's see how they approach Rigveda.

This is a section of one such song, a discussion between a sage named Vishvamitra and two rivers (the Beas and the Sutlej), who were revered as goddesses.

This is why rivers are likened to horses and cows.
