The '''Nadistuti sukta''' (Sanskrit: नदिस्तुति सूक्त), "hymn of praise of [[river]]s", is hymn 10.75 of the [[Rigveda]].

It is important for the reconstruction of the geography of the [[Vedic civilization]]. Sarasvati [[Sindhu]] (the Indus) is addressed as the mightiest of rivers and addressed specifically in verses 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9.

In verse 5, the [[rishi]] enumerates ten rivers, beginning with the [[Ganga River|Ganga]] and moving westwards:

O Ganga, Yamuna, Sarasvati, Shutudri (Sutlej), Parushni
(Iravati, Ravi), follow my praise! O Asikni (Chenab)
Marudvridha, Vitasta (Jhelum), with
the Arjikiya (Haro) and Sushoma (Sohan), listen!

Verse 6 adds northwestern rivers (tributaries of the [[Indus]] flowing through Afghanistan and north-western Pakistan),

[[Ralph T.H. Griffith|Griffith]] translates:
"First united with the Trishtama in order to flow, with the Susartu and
Rasa, and with this Svetya (you flow), O Sindhu (Indus) with the Kubha
(Kabul R.) to the Gomati (Gomal), with the Mehatnu to the
Krumu (Kurram), with whom you rush together on the same chariot."
