India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Nilamata Purana: a cultural and literary study (history)Khanabal is the name of a village where the streams Sandran, Bring, Ārapath and Lidar met to form the Vitasti river, mentioned in the Nīlamatapurāṇa.—The Vitastā is the most important river of Kaśmīra to give the country the appellation ‘Vaitastika’. Its traditional source is the Nīlakuṇḍa called also Śūlaghāṭa and Vitastātra, but it is actually formed by the streams Sandran, Bring, Ārapath and Lidar meeting in the plain close to Anantanāga near the village Khanabal.
Below Khanabal, Vitasti receives several branches of the Ledari and passes the ancient tīrthas of Vijayeśvara and Cakradhara. About three miles further down it receives the united waters of the Veśau and the Rembyāra and is thereafter united with the stream draining the ancient district of Holaḍā.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
