Mahi River
RamayanaThe Mahi River is a named waterway in the poem’s geographical itinerary. Its banks serve as a route marker, linking the river to the groves of Kálamahí.
Place in the Itinerary
Travelers are instructed to roam by the Mahi River’s banks and proceed where the groves of Kálamahí are spread. The passage places the river within a sequence of named landscapes, using it as a practical guide through the terrain rather than describing its physical features in detail.
Narrative Significance
The Mahi River’s appearance is brief but specific: it helps give the itinerary geographic texture by connecting a waterway with a neighboring grove. The text supplies no further account of the river’s dimensions, origin, or role beyond this route instruction.
