182:13 Both these are from the Páripátra range. In some MSS. the latter is read Vedasiní and Vetasiní. In the Rámáyańa occur Vedá and Vedavainasiká, which may be the same, as they seem to be in the direction of the Sone. One of them may be the Beos of eastern Malwa, but it rises in the Riksha mountain.

182:14 From Páripátra, Kúrma; from Mahendra, Váyu.

182:15 One copy has Ikshumáliní; two others, Ikshulá and Krimi: one MS. of the Váyu has an Ikshulá from Mahendra: the Matsya has Ikshudá; Wilford's list has Drákshalá.

182:16 Of these rivers, the two first are named in the Padma P., but not in the Váyu, &c. The Gomati in Oude, the Gandak, and the Kosi are well known. The Dhutapápá is said to rise in the Himálaya.

182:17 In different MSS. read Michitá and Nisritá. In the Váyu and Matsya, Niśchirá or Nirvirá is said to flow from the Himálaya.

182:18 Also Lohatárańí and Lohachárińí.

182:19 The Sarayú or Sarju is commonly identified with the Deva. Wilford says it is so by the Pauráńics, but we have here proof to the contrary. They are also distinguished by the people of the country. Although identical through great part of their course, they rise as different streams, and again divide and enter the Ganges by distinct branches.

182:20 The recurrence of the same name in this, as in several similar subsequent instances, is possibly an error of the copyist; but it is also sometimes likely that one name is applied to different rivers. In one MS. we have, in place of this word, Chaitravatí; and in another Vetravatí.

182:21 Read also Śatávarí. According to Wilford, the Śarávatí is the Ban-gangá.

182:22 The Váyu has Párá, which is a river in Malwa, the Párvatí. MSS. read Váńí and Veńá.

182:23 According to the Váyu, this rises in the Sahya m., and flows towards the south: it is therefore the Beema of Aurungabad.

182:24 The Kaverí is well known, and has always borne the same appellation, being the Chaberis of Ptolemy.

182:25 Read Chuluká.

182:26 Read also Tápí; the Taptí river of the Dekhin.

182:27 Read Ahitá and Sahitá.

183:28 Rises in the Sahya mountain, and flows southwards: Váyu, &c.

183:29 Read Vichitrá.

183:30 Several rivers are called by this name, as well as the Indus: there is one of some note, the Káli Sindh in Malwa.

183:31 Also Vájiní.

183:32 This agrees best in name with the Beema: it is also mentioned as a tírtha in the Mahábhárata.

183:33 From Śuktimat: Kúrma and Váyu. There is a Balásan from the eastern portion of the Himálaya, a feeder of the Mahánada, which may be the Palásiní, if the mountain be in this direction.

183:34 Also Pippalalávatí. The Váyu has a Pippalá from the Riksha mountain.

183:35 Also Kuśavírá.

183:36 Also Mahiká and Maruńd́áchí.

183:37 Also Śená.

183:38 Read Kritavatí and Ghritavatí.

183:39 Also Dhuśulyá.
