The fire Śaṃsya who is remembered as Āhavanīya fire as well as one who is identified with fire (Abhimānin, one who takes pride) by the Brāhmaṇas loved these sixteen rivers: viz.: Kāverī, Kṛṣṇaveṇā, Narmadā, Yamunā, Godāvarī, Vitastā, Canḍrabhāgā, Irāvatī, Vipāśā, Kauśikī, Śatadru, Sarayū, Sītā, Sarasvatī, Hrādinī and Pāvanī. He divided himself into sixteen Dhāmans (abodes) and in those abodes he deposited himself. The Dhiṣṇīs (abodes i.e. fire-places) were caused to move by vehicles (Kṛttikas) (?) and the sons were born in those Dhiṣṇīs. Hence those sons are called “Dhiṣṇis”. Thus these sons of the rivers were born in the Dhiṣṇis and they are glorified as Dhiṣṇis.
