Chenab is not actually Chandrabhaga, It's Askini in Hindu mythology

There is misinformation about the name of Chenab, as many unauthentic sources claim that the Chenab river in Jammu and Kashmir was known as Chandrabhaga in Hindu mythology or religious scriptures. These claims were accepted because Chenab originates from two rivers in Himachal Pradesh, Chandra and Bhaga. But the concept of Chandrabhaga in Mahabharat is about the river Chandrabhaga of Odisha. According to Hindu mythology, during the Dvapara Yuga, a Grand Sun Temple was erected at Padma Ksetra on the bank of the Chandrabhaga river, which was known as Maitreya Vana.  According to experts, the river Chandrabhaga of Hindu mythology, as mentioned in the Mahabharata, was found in Odisha. Chandrabhaga, the ancient river, is believed to have existed at a distance of about two km from the 13th century Sun Temple at Konark, a Unesco World Heritage Site in Odisha. So, in conclusion the Chandrabhaga river is different which is mentioned in Hindu religious scriptures and is located in Odisha and Chandrabhaga Beach is also located on the bank of that river. The name of Chenab river in Hindu religious scriptures is Askini, as mentioned in Rigveda. ❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️) 13:39, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Please cut out your WP:OR. Neither of your sources say anything about Chenab, and they are entirely irrelevant to this article. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:04, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Kautilya3 I haven't written anything which puts WP:OR here. What I wrote is from reliable sources, which I mentioned above. Your response doesn't negate that the river is in Odisha. The relationship of this topic is with the river Chandrabhaga, which is falsely attributed to the Chenab river as its Hindu mythological name. But the reality is that Askini is the ancient and Hindu mythological name for the Chenab river. You have reverted my well explained edit. Kindly restore it back. Thank you. ❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️)

You bring sources that do not even mention the Chenab River and start alterting the content of this, claiming something or other, and that is not WP:OR? Do the sources say that Chandrabhaga was not a name of Chenab? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:40, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

In the Anabasis Alexandrou

Arrian, in the Anabasis of Alexander, quotes the eyewitness Ptolemy Lagides as writing that the river is 2 miles wide where Alexander the Great crossed it. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 20:04, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
