Amvuvāhinī is a river mentioned in Mahābhārata. However, there are debates regarding its name — hether it is Amvuvāhinī or Madhuvāhinī. Though name is Amvuvāhinī in the verse of Mahābhārata, H.H. Wilson has accepted the name Madhuvāhinī , in the second volume of his edition of Viṣṇupurāṇa, where he speaks of several rivers in the section of the making of Jamvukhaṇḍa (Jamvukhanda). Thus it may appear that Amvuvāhinī and Madhuvāhinī are the same. This is also true that in Bhīṣmaparva, , the names of Vennā, Mahānadī and the like are found in the preceding or following verses of where the name of Amvuvāhinīis uttered. From this verse-wise description, it appears that Amvuvāhinī is a river belonging to mid-southern India.
