Kakutthī.—It is a small stream called Barhi which falls into the little Gandak, eight miles below Kāsīā. Carlleyle has identified it with the river Ghāgī, 1½ miles to the west of Chitiyaon in the Gorakhpur district. The Buddha while going from Rājagriha to Kuśinārā had to cross this river which was near Kuśinārā.³ He then arrived at the mango-grove and then proceeded to the Śāla-grove of the Mallas near Kuśinārā.⁴
