Kṛishṇaveṇî—1. The united stream of the Kṛishṇâ and Veṇâ rivers. Bilvamaṅgala, the author of the Kṛishṇakarṇâmṛita, lived on the western bank of this river (Kṛishṇa Das's Sâraṅga-raṅgadâ, a commentary on the work, MS., Sansk. Col., Calcutta). 2. The river Kṛishṇâ (Agni P., ch. 118; Râmâyaṇa, Kishk., ch. 4). It rises at Mahabaleśvara in the Western Ghats, and its source, which is enclosed within a temple of Mahâdeva, is considered to be a sacred spot visited by numerous pilgrims. It falls into the Bay of Bengal at Sippelar, a little to the south of Masulipatam.
