Pampā.—It is a tributary of the river Tuṅgabhadrā. It rises in the Ṛṣyamukha mountain, eight miles from the Anagaṇḍi hills (cf. *Bombay Gazetteer*, Vol. I, Pt. II, p. 369). On the bank of this river Rāma met Hanumān (*Rāmāyaṇa*, Ādikāṇḍa, Sarga I, v. 58). Lakṣmaṇa also visited it. This river was adorned with red lotuses. Its water was clear and it looked beautiful (*Rāmāyaṇa*, Kiṣkindhyākāṇḍa, Sarga I, vv. 64-66; Sarga I, vv. 1-6).
