Krishnaveni River is a named waterway in the poem’s geographical catalogue of rivers and landscapes. Its brief appearance places it among the flowing waters that give the catalogue a concrete sense of terrain, rather than presenting it as the setting of a separate episode.

Appearance in the Geographic Catalogue

The poem names Krishnaveni River alongside the Narmada River and Godavari River. The sequence moves from the Narmada’s waters, with serpents basking nearby, to Krishnaveni River’s currents and the bright waters of Godavari River. The river is thus identified through its place among other named waterways, not by a narrated encounter or a detailed account of its course.

Description and Narrative Function

Krishnaveni River is described through the movement of its currents. That compact image makes it part of a flowing landscape: the catalogue gives rivers a vivid presence while linking them in a wider geographical survey. The passage supplies no distinct plot action or change associated with Krishnaveni River; its significance lies in contributing a named, specific feature to the poem’s landscape.
