  • Asikni is the ancient name of the Chenab river. (Pair 2 is incorrect)
  • Parushni is the ancient name of the Ravi river. (Pair 3 is correct)
  • Vipasha is the ancient name of the Beas river, whereas Yavyavati is generally identified with the Zhob river in modern-day Balochistan. (Pair 4 is incorrect)
