On the north-east the kings of Kalinga at one time ruled over the entire line of seaboard from the Kistna to the Ganges.
He also projected the anicut on the Kistna (Krishna), which was carried out by other officers.
The principal rivers are the Tungabhadra and Kistna, which bound the district on the north.
I am informed that the Yerukalas of the Kistna district are divided into two classes—sheep and goats practically.
In utility for irrigation the Kistna is also inferior to its two sister streams, the Godavari and Cauvery.
