*Mandākinī*.—The *Yoginitantra* has a reference to this river (1/15, pp. 87–89). It is the western Kālī (Kālīgaṅgā) which rises in the mountains of Kedāra in Garhwal. It is a tributary of the Alakanandā (*Aṅguttara Nikāya*, IV, 101). Cunningham identifies it with Mandākin, a small tributary of the Paisundi in Bundelkhand which flows by the side of the Citrakūṭaparvata. (Cunningham, A.S.R., XXI, 11.)
