Candabhāgā.—A river in India. It was the third river crossed by Mahā Kappina and his wife on their way from their own country, in the north-west, to Sāvatthi.¹ The river was one league deep and one wide² and eighteen leagues in length, with a rapid current.³ On its bank was a large banyan-tree where the Buddha awaited Kappina's arrival.⁴ The Milinda⁵ mentions it as one of the ten important rivers flowing from the Himālaya. The name is evidently old, as it occurs in several ancient legends.⁶ - [Previous: v1.c16.252](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.252) - [Next: v1.c16.254](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.254) - [Up: v1.c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.253](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.253) · Pramāṇa
