mdzes-'byor may very well translate the term/name ullAsa (incl. connotations such
as splendor, brightness, beauty) itself.
Here is a map showing a lot of rivers in Maharashtra:

Emne: Re: River Ulhas
Dear Ashok (and George),
Thanks for the information. That is somewhat helpful. The thing is, I am
trying to identify a river somewhere between and including the Narmadaa and
the Ulhas from a Tibetan translation (mdzes-'byor) which roughly means
"endowed with beauty / prosperity / goodness". I had wondered if the Ulhas
was at some time known as the Kalyaa.nika in view of the town upstream today
called Kalyana.
Many thanks,
Stephen Hodge
