krumu river

[N. Ganesan]

Prof. Witzel's '99 EJVS river mentions a river in Panjab called
Krumu.

Could it be kramuka ('arecanut')? Fertile lands are routinely
described in the epic literature to be full of kramuka trees.

Kuiper has noted:
ta. pavaLam > pravAla, tamiz > dramiDa, ta. kamuku > kramuka

Regards,
N. Ganesan
