Vāṭanadī (वाटनदी) is the name of a river found in India.—As suggested by Professor D.C. Sircar, the river Vāṭanadī is, most probably, identical with modem Baranai flowing west to east through the southern part of the Rajshahi district. It may be noted here that Mr. Niradbandhu Sanyal proposed to identify it with a small stream Nagar, which is an off-lake of the Karatoyā.

Vāṭānadī (वाटानदी) is the name of a river mentioned in the Gupta inscription No. 43. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. We get a reference to the Vāṭā-nadī in an inscription at Kalaikuri, Sultānpur near Naogaon, Rajshahi district, East Pakistan now Bangla Desh.

Vāṭānadī was flowing to the east of a village named Dhānyapāṭalikā. ‘The Vāṭā nadī appears to be the modern Bārā-nai, Singra lying about 10 miles to the north-east of its junction with the Atrai. It flows west to east through the southern part of the Rajshahi district.
