ŚUKTIMATĪ I   A river which used to flow by the side of Uparicaravasu's capital city. There is a story about this river. Once the Kolāhala mountain fell in love with this river and kept it within himself. Upari- caravasu who came to know of this, gave a kick to the mountain. The kick produced a hole in the mountain and the river emerged through that hole. Śuktimatī had a son and a daughter by Kolāhala mountain. The river presented them to the King. The King appointed the son as his military commander. Girikā, the daughter of the river became the King's wife. [M.B. Ādi Parva, Chapter 63, Verse 34] .
