[...] The valley of the Barakar separates the south-west of the district from the Chota-Nagpur plateau but here also the inclination is to the south-east and the Ajai and Mor with their numerous tributaries carry the drainage of the western half of the district not into the Barakar but into the Bhagirathi below Murshidabad. [...] BRAHMANI The Brahmani rises in the west of the Dudhua hills in the north of the Dumka subdivision and flowing through Pharasemul and Sankara form the southern boundary of the Dumka Damin. [...] in the hills in the vicinity of Saldaha in the lower hills near Narganj and Bokrabandh at Churli Pahar near Chandra in the Godda Damin and at the base of the hills to the west of Hiranpur in the Pakaur Damin.
