Palāśinī.—This river has been identified by some with the modern Parās, a tributary of the Koel in Chotanagpur. It is one of the streams that is said to have issued, according to the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa, from the Śaktimat range, which has been identified with the chain of hills extending from Śakti in Raigarh, C.P., to the Dalma hills in Manbhum and perhaps even to the hills in the Santal Parganas (B. C. Law, Rivers of India, p. 45).
