==Etymology==
The river was also known as ''Arjikuja'' of the Vedas, or ''Vipasa'' to the ancient Indians, and the ''Hyphasis'' to the Ancient Greeks.〔(Beas ) ''The Imperial Gazetteer of India'', v. 7, ''p. 138.''.〕
It is said that Beas is a misnomer for Vyasa (exchange of B with V and always truncation of the last vowel is common in North Indian languages) and is named after Veda Vyasa, the presiding patron of the river; he is said to have created it from its source lake, the Vyas Kund.
