There were two rivers at Citrakūṭa called the Mandākinī and Mālinī.⁵ The Mandākinī is stated to have been on the north side of this hill. The forest at Citrakūṭa does not appear to have been isolated. The Nila forest joined the forest on this hill.⁶ The Mahābhārata (85, 58-59) refers to the Citrakūṭaparvata and the Mandākinī river.
