*Āriyālkhāl*.—From the right side of the Padmā, which in its lower course becomes known as the Kirtināśā or the destroyer of memorable works amongst the monuments and buildings of Rājā Rājvallabh at Rājnagar in the district of Faridpur, issues the Āriyālkhāl river below the town of Faridpur. It flows down into the Bay of Bengal through the Madaripur sub-division of Faridpur and the district of Backerganj. This khāl and the Madhumati are connected by a small river which flows from the former a little above the town of Madaripur and joins the latter a little above Gopālganj in Madaripur sub-division (Law, *Rivers of India*, p. 28).
