What the texts say

The Krishna River (Kṛṣṇā) is a sacred river that the Vishnu Purana counts among streams born from the Sahya mountains and remembered as removing the fear of sin. Vishnu Purana 2.3.12 The Matsya Purana lists it as Krishnaveni, one of its names, among sacred rivers such as the Kaveri and Godavari, and among excellent sacred fords. Matsya Purana 51.13, 22.45 In the Skanda Purana, some people live on the bank of the Krishna River, as others live near the Tungabhadra river. Skanda Purana 1.4.2.10 The Padma Purana says that bathing in it when Jupiter is in Virgo brings merit like the Godavari's completed sacred bath when Jupiter is in Leo. Padma Purana 6.50.13
