Kaṇṇaveṇṇā

v.l. Kaṇṇapeṇṇā.– A river in Mahiṃsaka, running out of Lake Saṅkhapāla. At the bend of the river and near its source was the mountain Candaka, near which the king of Magadha lived in a hut of leaves, and where he was visited by the Nāga Saṅkhapāla (J.v.162 f). The river must have formed a lake at this bend, the lake being referred to as Kaṇṇaveṇṇādaha (J.v.168).
