笔奴谤峁嘺 River
Almost all the 艢补峁卥补谤补 Digvijayas describe 笔奴谤峁嘺 river is situated near K膩ladi. 尝补办峁补峁嘺 S奴rin says:
辫奴谤峁嚹� 苍腻尘补 苍补诲墨 tata prasann膩m峁泃av膩hin墨 |
apy膩yayati vidyeva峁� sarv膩n vi峁yagocar膩n ||[1]
笔奴谤峁嘺 river flows near K膩ladi, with abundant crystal clear water. It destroys all waste. That is just like being cleared education when we teach thoroughly. 惭腻诲丑补惫补 said:

Coming to know the divinity and greatness of that 艢ivali峁単am through a dream, a king called Rajashekhara built a fine temple on the banks of river 笔奴谤峁嘺 to house the Li峁単am and made arrangements for its worship.
This verse is the same as in 艢补峁卥补谤补vijaya of Vy膩s膩cala.
