Kṣīranadī (क्षीरनदी) is the name of a river mentioned in the Nīlamatapurāṇa. The Nīlamata refers to Kṣīranadī’s meeting with the Kauṇḍinyā and then to the confluence of the Kauṇḍinyā with the Viśokā. Stein suggests its identification with the modern Ghatskul—the ancient Dugdhagaṅgā—joining the Vitastā opposite the old quarter of Diddāmaṭha. The Naubandhana Māhātmya mentions its name Śvetagaṅgā also. Taking into consideration its meeting with the Kauṇḍinyā—a feeder of the Viśokā—I think, it should be identified with the Ghiṭṭinadī which rises from the Gogal Marg on the northern slopes of the Pañcāl range and falls into the Veśau in lat. 33° 37' long. 74° 49' just north of the village of Kangwaṭṭan.
