Kāragaṅgā.—A river in Ceylon. It was dammed between the hills with a great barrier by Parakkamabāhu I., and its waters were conveyed by a canal, the Ākāsagaṅgā, to form the Parakkamasamudda (*q.v.*).¹ Another canal, the Godāvarī, is mentioned as branching off from the Kāragaṅgā and flowing into the Parakkamasāgara.²
