History
Nalinī (नलिनी) is a branch of the Ganges. When the heavenly Gaṅgā came down to the earth as a result of the penance of Bhagīratha, Śiva received it on his head. It is seen in Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Bāla Kāṇḍa, Sarga 43, that when the Gaṅgā fell drown from the head of Śiva it split into seven river-arms called Hlādinī, Pāvanī, Nalinī, Sucakṣus, Sītā, Sindhu and Gaṅgā. The Ganges which flows through North India is one of these seven river-arms.[2]
Nalinī (नलिनी) is a name for the Ganges; a stream of the Gangā, flows east through the countries of Tomara, Haṃsamārga, Haihaya, Karṇaprāvaraṇa, Aśvamukha, Śikatāparvatamaru, Vidyādhara, and Nāgamaṇḍala and reaches the salt ocean; one of the seven streams, and one of the three going towards the western direction.[3]
Tej Ram Sharma[4] writes about Kharaparikas [5] : One of the tribes who were subjugated by Samudragupta. D. R. Bhandarkar takes them to be the Kharparas mentioned in the Batihagadh Inscription of the Damoh district of M.P. Kharpara means a thief, a rogue or a cheat. The name Kharaparika does not occur elsewhere in inscriptions or literature. The Markandeya Purana mentions a tribe called Khara-sagara-rasis, along with the Gandharas and the Yaudheyas; and the Matsya Purana refers to a country named Kharapatha, watered by the river Nalini. It is difficult to say whether Khara-sagara-rasi and Kharapatha had anything to do with the Kharaparikas. K.P. Jayaswal expresses the probability of the identification of the Kharaparikas with the five Karpatas of the Mahabharata.
Jat History
Bhim Singh Dahiya[6] writes.... 27. Hans - They are also found in Europe (German, Hans/Hanz). They are originally placed in the Puranas on the banks of river Nalini in Central Asia, alongwith the Tomars.[7] Vayu Purana says it was a hilly area [8], and Mahabharata says it was a Mleccha country. [9] The river Nalini is said to arise from the Bindusarovar, identified with Aling-Kangri range by S. Muuzaffar Ali. [10] The same authority correctly Identifies Nalini with Yang-tse river. Sabha Parva mentions them with the Paur Kundmān and Sibi. [11]

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[12] ने लेख किया है ...1. नलिनी नदी (AS, p.482): विष्णु पुराण के अनुसार शाकद्वीप की एक नदी-- 'नद्यश्चात्र महापुण्या सर्वपापभयापहा: सुकुमारी कुमारी नलिनी धेनुका च या'
2. नलिनी नदी (AS, p.482): वाल्मीकि रामायण बालकांड 43 में उल्लिखित नदी जो संभवतः ब्रह्मपुत्र है. (श्री एन.एल.डे)
नलिनी महाभारत के अनुसार एक नदी का नाम था, जो कि सम्भवतः गंगा की एक धारा थी।[13]
