River Arjuni Skr. arjunī, lit. ‘white’, Tib. srid sgrub ma ‘establishing existence’, Mong. törö-yi bütügegči ‘one who establishes Power ’, jayaγa-ni bütügegči ‘one who establishes fate’.


Another name of Arjuni is Skr. bāhu-dā lit. ‘a giving arm’, Tib. dpung pa byin id. The same Skt. bāhu-dā was translated as Tib. dbyig gi dpung pa ‘an arm of wealth’, Mong. erdeni-yin ömög ‘a precious army’. (Tib. dpung] has both meanings “arm” and “army”).

The translators tried to make this name sound better. In the list of names in the Dict. by Das there is dbyig gi khu ba ‘сок богатства’. Tib. Khu ba resembles Tib. dpung ba and the meaning suites the name of river much better.
