Which peninsular river has a tributary named 'Kabini'?

The Kabini River (also known as Kabani or Kapila) is a significant tributary of the Kaveri River in southern India [2]. It originates in the Wayanad district of Kerala through the confluence of the Panamaram and Mananthavady rivers [2]. Flowing eastward, it enters the Mysore district of Karnataka, where it joins the Kaveri at Tirumakudalu Narasipura [2]. The Kaveri itself rises in the Brahmagiri range of the Western Ghats and drains parts of Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu before emptying into the Bay of Bengal [4]. Other major tributaries of the Kaveri include the Hemavati, Bhavani, and Amravati [2]. Unlike other peninsular rivers like the Godavari or Krishna, the Kaveri maintains a relatively consistent flow throughout the year due to receiving rainfall from both the southwest and northeast monsoons [2].
