candabhāgā
Candabhāgā：1．Candabhāgā．-A river in India．It was the third river crossed byMahā Kappina and his wife on their way from their own country，in the north-west，to Sāvatthi （ThagA．i．508）．The river was one league deep and one wide （DhA．ii．120） and eighteen leagues in length，with a rapid current （DA．iii．877，878）．On its bank was a large banyan-tree where the Buddha awaited Kappina’s arrival （AA．i．177; SA．ii．179）．
The Milinda （p．114） mentions it as one of the ten important rivers flowing from the Himālaya．The name is evidently old，as it occurs in several ancient legends （E．g．，Ap．i．75; ThagA．i．390; ThigA．9，etc．）．
The Candabhāgā is generally identified with the Chenab （the Akesines of the Greeks）．But see Ps．of the Brethren 255，n．1．
2．Candabhāgā．-A canal constructed by Parakkamabāhu I．，flowing through the centre of the Lakkhuyyāna．Cv．lxxix．48．
