Lakṣyā.—It is mentioned in the Yoginītantra (1/11, pp. 60-61) as the confluence of Lakṣyā. The Lakṣyā is the prettiest river in the district of Dacca. It is found to have been formed from the three streams that took off from the old Brahmaputra. It flows into the Dhaleśvarī at Madanganj. (Law, Rivers of India, p. 34).
