Aṅga. — The name occurs only once in the Atharvaveda¹ in

connection with the Gandhāris, Mūjavants, and Magadhas, as

distinct peoples. They appear also in the Gopatha Brāhmaṇa²

in the compound name Aṅga-magadhāḥ. As in later times they

were settled on the Sone and Ganges,³ their earlier seat was

presumably there also. See also Vaṅga. [Footnote] 1) v. 22, 14. [Footnote] 2) ii. 9. [Footnote] 3) Cf. Zimmer, Altindisches Leben, 35;

Bloomfield, Hymns of the Atharvaveda,

446, 449; Pargiter, Journal of the Royal

Asiatic Society, 1908, 852, inclines to

regard them as a non-Aryan people

that came over-sea to Eastern India.

There is nothing in the Vedic litera-

ture to throw light on this hypothesis.

Aṅga (I) — the father of Vena; knew the power of

Kṛṣṇa's yoga.¹ A son of Ulmuka (Kuru and Āgneyī —

Vi. P.). His wife was Sunīthā, the cruel-faced daughter of

Mṛtyu. Finding the son's conduct cruel and unbecoming,

he departed from the city.² Once he performed the Aśva-

medha but the gods did not partake of the offerings. When

he consulted the learned assembly, was advised by it that

he could get a son by worshipping Hari. But the son born,

Vena, was so mischievous that the king abandoned the king-

dom in distress. Though messengers were deputed in search

of him, his whereabouts remained untraced.³ Devoted to

Hari, sought refuge with Him.⁴ According to the Brah-

māṇḍa, Matsya and Vāyu Purāṇas he was the son of Ūru

and Āgneyī.⁵ A Prajāpati of the family of Svāyambhuva

Aṅga (II) — A kṣetraja son of Bali: born of Dīrghata-

mas. Father of Khanapāna (Anapāna-Vā.).¹ After him

was the Aṅgadeśa.² Father of Dadhivāhana, born without

apāna (anus).³ The last king of his line was Vṛṣasena.⁴ [Footnote] 1) Bhā. IX. 23. 5 & 6; M. 48. 25 & 9; Vā. 99. 28, 85; Br. III.

aṅga, (1) member, part (as in Skt. and Pali, where it is

recorded as nt. only), m. (at least modified by two m. adj.),

sarve bhavāṅga…niruddhāḥ LV 420.14 (so all mss.,

Lefm. °dhā); (2) attribute, quality, characteristic, like the

Skt. guṇa (so Pali, CPD s.v., 4, where it is shown that Pali

uses it ‘mostly with numbers’, and often in dependence on

samannāgata, cf. below); the 60 qualities (aṅga) of the

Buddha's voice, Mvy 444, listed 445--504, cf. Sūtrāl. xii.9;

same mg. in cpds., see aṣṭāṅga (2), āprāṇyāṅga, svarāṅ-

ga; also kulaṃ (the family in which the Bodhisattva is

born in his last existence) ṣaṣṭīhi aṅgehi samanvāgataṃ

bhavati Mv i.197.14 (there follows a list of the 60 ‘qualities’).

In the LV parallel, 23.10 ff., catuḥṣaṣṭy-ākārair…saṃ-

pannakulaṃ bhavati.Repetition Mv ii.1.6, also with list

following. Both Pali and BHS further refer to five bad

qualities as pañcāṅga (Pali °aṅga): pañcāṅga-viprahīṇa

(124.15 -vipratihīna), of Buddhas, Divy 95.17; 124.15;

264.30; acc. to Vism. 146.5--6 they are the nīvaraṇāni.

On the other hand, there are five good qualities referred to

by Pali pañcaṅga in Vism. 146.25 ff.; and a different set,

characteristic of kings or brahmans, ‘gentlemanly qualities’,

PTSD s.v.; cf. s.v. pañcāṅgika, esp. 3; the Buddha speaks

pañcāṅgena svareṇa, MSV i.220.20. The line between

meanings 1 and 2 is not always easy to draw. E.g. Mvy 424

describes the Tathāgata as ṣaḍaṅgasamanvāgataḥ, re-

ferring to the six aṅgas (‘qualities’? or members, parts?) of

upekṣā, cf. chaḷaṅgasamannāgata DN iii.269.19 (list

follows; consists of indifference to the objects of each of

six senses), and Vism. 160.9 ff. (chaḷaṅgupekkhā is the

first of ten upekkhā).

AṄGA . A King belonging to the Candra vaṃśa. (Lunar

dynasty).

1) Genealogy. Descended from Viṣṇu in the following

order: Brahmā-Atri-Candra-Budha-Purūravas-Āyus-

Nahuṣa-Yayāti-Anudruhyu-Sabhānara-Kālanara-

Sṛñjaya-Titikṣa-Kuśadhṛta-Homa-Sutapas-Bali-Aṅga.

2) Birth. Aṅga, Kaliṅga, Suhma, Kaṇḍra, Vaṅga,

Adrupa and Anaśābhu are the seven sons born to Bali,

the son of Sutapas, by his wife Suteṣṇā, and the King

Aṅga is one of them. There is a story about the birth

of these sons.

Once there lived a hermit named Utatthya. He was

the elder brother of Bṛhaspati. One day when Mamatā,

Utatthya's wife, was pregnant, Bṛhaspati approached

her with carnal desires. In spite of her efforts to dis-

suade her brother-in-law from his attempts she could not

prevail upon him. He forced her and satisfied his desire.

The child in her womb protested and kicked the sperm

of Bṛhaspati out into the floor. Bṛhaspati got angry and

cursed the child in the womb: “May you fall in perpe-

tual darkness”. So the child was born blind and

remained blind throughout his life. Hence he got the

name ‘Dīrghatamas’. Dīrghatamas married Pradveṣi. A

son named Gautama was born to them. The duty of

supporting Dīrghatamas fell upon the wife and the son,

who put him on a raft and pushed him astray into the

River Ganges. King Bali, who was bathing in the river

saw this. He rescued the hermit and took him to the

palace and pleasing him by hospitality, requested him

to beget children in his wife Suteṣṇā, who detesting the

idea sent a Śūdrā woman Dhātreyī in her stead and

eleven children were born to them. By and by Dīrgha-

tamas came to know of the deceit played by Suteṣṇā on

him and he became very angry. But the King pacified

him and pleased him again and Dīrghatamas begot five

sons by Suteṣṇā. They were Aṅga, Vaṅga, Kaliṅga,

Pauṇḍra and Suhma. Dīrghatamas blessed them that they

would become very famous. Aṅga, Vaṅga, Kaliṅga,

Pauṇḍra and Suhma were the five kingdoms ruled by

Aṅga, Vaṅga, Kaliṅga, Pauṇḍra and Suhma respectively.

These five are the famous Kings of the Bāli family.

(Mahābhārata, Ādi Parva, Chapter 104).

3) How Aṅga got children. Once Aṅga performed a

horse sacrifice. But the gods did not appear to receive

oblations. Holy seers said that the Gods refused to

accept the oblations offered by the King because he was

childless. So he performed the sacrifice called Putrakā-

meṣṭi (Sacrifice to get a son) and from the sacrificial

fire arose a divine person with a golden flask of pud-

ding, which he offered to the King and his queen. The

King and the queen Sunīthā ate the pudding, as a

result of which a son was born to them. He was named

Vena. This son was wicked. Because of his wickedness

the King became so miserable that he left his kingdom

and went on a pilgrimage. Since there was no other

means the people enthroned Vena, who tortured his

subjects beyond limit. (Bhāgavata, 4th Skandha, Chap-

ters Band 14).

AṄGA (M). The kingdom ruled by King Aṅga. Other

details:

1) The Dynasty. The first King of the Aṅga dynasty

was Aṅga the son of Bali. Anagābhu, Draviratha,

Dharmaratha, Romapāda (Lomapāda), Caturaṅga,

Pṛthulākṣa, Bṛhadratha, Bṛhanmanas, Jayadratha,

Vijaya, Dṛḍhavrata, Satyakarmā, Atiratha, Karṇa,

Vṛṣasena and others were kings of this dynasty. Karṇa

was the adopted son of Atiratha. During the period of

the Mahābhārata, Kings of the Atiratha family were

under the sway of the Candra vaṃśa (Lunar dynasty)

kings such as Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Pāṇḍu. (For further in-

formations see the word Atiratha).

2) How Karṇa became the king of Aṅga. A contest in

archery and the wielding of other weapons was going

on in Hastināpura, the competitors being the Kauravas

and the Pāṇḍavas. The status of Karṇa, who appeared

on the side of the Kauravas, was questioned by the

Pāṇḍavas on the occasion and Duryodhana, who always

stood on his dignity, anointed Karṇa as the King of

Aṅga, on the spot. (M.B., Ādi Parva, Chapter 136).

3) Drought in the kingdom of Aṅga. Lomapāda (Roma-

pāda) the king of Aṅga once deceived a hermit Brahmin.

So all the Brahmins quitted the country and thereafter

there was no rainfall in the country for several years.

The sages of the country began to think on the means

of bringing about rain. One day they approached the

King and told him that the only way to get rain was

to bring the great hermit Ṛṣyaśṛṅga to the country.

Once Kaśyapa happened to see Urvaśī and he had

seminal flow. The sperm fell in a river. A deer swal-

lowed it along with the water it drank. It gave birth to a

human child with horns on the head. This child was

called Ṛṣyaśṛṅga. It was brought up by a hermit

called Vibhāṇḍaka in his hut. Ṛṣyaśṛṅga had never

seen women and by virtue of this, there occurred rain-

fall wherever he went. The King Lomapāda sent some

courtesans to the forest to attract Ṛṣyaśṛṅga, who

following them arrived at the court of Lomapāda the

King of Aṅga and the King gave Ṛṣyaśṛṅga, as a gift,

his daughter Śāntā. Thus the country got rain. This

Lomapāda was a friend of Daśaratha. (Mahābhārata,

Araṇya Parva, Chapters 110 to 113).

4) How the Kingdom got the name Aṅga. One opinion is

that the Kingdom got its name from the King Aṅga

who ruled over it. Another opinion is that the king got

his name from the country he ruled. However there is

a story revealing how the country came to be called

Aṅga.

In the realm of God, preliminary steps were being taken

for making Śrī Parameśvara wed Pārvatī. According to

the instructions of Devendra, Kāmadeva (the Lord of

Love—Cupid) was trying to break the meditation of Śiva

and when Śiva opened his third eye, fire emitted from

it and Anaṅga (Kāmadeva) was burned to ashes. It

was in the country of Aṅga that the ashes of the ‘aṅga’

(Body) of Kāmadeva fell and from that day onwards

the country came to be called Aṅga and Kāmadeva,

‘Anaṅga’ (without body). (Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Bāla-

kāṇḍa, Sarga 26).

called his ministers and consulted with

them about the means to bring Ṛśyaśṛṅga

to the Aṅga country; he asked the courte-

zans to get Ṛśyaśṛṅga from his āśrama

to his country by some means (tato 'ṅga-

patir āhūya sacivān … /yatnam akaron

mantraṇiścaye...ṛśyaśṛṅgam … ānayadhvam

various means and brought him to the

ruler of the Aṅgas (pralobhayantyo vivi-

dhair upāyair ājagmur aṅgādhipateḥ samī-

Prabhāvatī, the eldest sister of Ruci, was

the wife of Citraratha, the king of the

Aṅgas; Ruci put the heavenly flowers in her

hair and went to the residence of the king of

the Aṅgas; seeing those flowers Prabhāvatī,

the wife of the chief of the Aṅgas, asked

her sister for the flowers (tadā nimantrakas
