In the plural, is mentioned in the Taittirīya Aranyaka, as the utkara (‘mound of earth thrown up ’ from the excavation of the altar) of Kurukçetra.

Is the name of a stream mentioned in the Nadīstuti (‘Praise of Rivers’) in the Rigveda along with the Asiknī (Akesines) and the Vitastā (Hydaspes). Roth considers that the Marudvṛdhā denotes the stream formed by the combined waters of these two rivers down to its junction with the Paruṣriī (Ravi), a view accepted by Zimmer. On the other hand, Ludwig thinks that the Marudvṛdhā designates the stream formed by the junction of the Paruṣṇī with the combined waters of the Asiknī and Vitastā, a view which seems less likely.
(‘Descendant of Avikṣit ’) Kāma-ppi (‘ descendant of Kāmapra ’) is the name of a king who was anointed by Samvarta according to the Aitareya Brāhmana. In the śatapatha Brāhmaṇa account of the same king he is called Áyograva.
