*Anomā*-(Chinese *Ho-nan-mo-Ch’iang*).—Anomā is the river Aumi in the Gorakhpur district. Carlleyle identifies this river with the Kudawa nadī in the Basti district of Oudh. The Buddha after leaving Kapilavastu proceeded to the bank of this river and then he adopted the life of a monk (*Dhammapada Commentary*, I, 85).
