    AṄGADA I . A son of Bāli.

    1) Genealogy. Descended from Viṣṇu in the following

    order: Brahmā-Kaśyapa-Indra-Bāli-Aṅgada.

    2) Birth. Aṅgada was the son of Bāli (the son of

    Indra) born of his wife Tārā. (Mahābhārata, Vana

    Parva, Chapter 82, Stanza 28).

    a) Aṅgada was a member of the group of monkeys

    sent by Sugrīva to find out Sītā. (Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa,

    Araṇyakāṇḍa).

    b) He was the foremost among the group of monkeys

    who entered Madhuvana and ate the berries in the

    garden, on their return after the search for Sītā.

    c) Aṅgada was sent to the court of Rāvaṇa as a

    messenger by Śrī Rāma. (Rāmāyaṇa, Yuddhakāṇḍa).

    d) In the battle between Rāma and Rāvaṇa Aṅgada

    combated with Indrajit. (Rāmāyaṇa, Yuddhakāṇḍa).

    e) After his combat with Indrajit, Aṅgada and his

    followers led an attack on the army of Rāvaṇa. (Rāmā-

    yaṇa, Yuddhakāṇḍa).

    f) After the battle, Śrī Rāma anointed Aṅgada as the

    heir-apparent to the Kingdom of Kiṣkindhā. The neck-

    lace which Bāli had given on his death to Sugrīva, was

    returned to Aṅgada. (Uttara Rāmāyaṇa).

    g) Śrī Rāma returned to Ayodhyā after his forest

    life and celebrated a horse sacrifice. The sacrificial

    horse was caught and detained by King Suratha. Com-

    ing to know of this Śatrughna sent Aṅgada to deal

    with Suratha, who said that the horse was detained

    with the intention of meeting with Śrī Rāma personally.

    Aṅgada returned and told Śatrughna what Suratha had

    said to him. (Padma Purāṇa, Pātāla Khaṇḍa).
    p. 37, col. 2.
    AṄGADA II . There was a prince called Aṅgada among

    the mighty men-of-arms on the side of the Kauravas.

    He got into action on the battle-field on the twelfth day

    of the battle. (M.B., Droṇa Parva, Chapter 25, Stanza

    38).
    p. 37, col. 2.
    AṄGADA III . Śrutakīrti the wedded wife of Śatru-

    ghna, brother of Śrī Rāma, had two sons called Aṅgada

    and Chandraketu. (Uttara Rāmāyaṇa).
    p. 37, col. 2.
    AṄGADA IV . In the Bhāgavata we see another Aṅgada

    who was the son of Gada, the brother of Kṛṣṇa by his

    wife, Bṛhatī.

    Aṅgada m.: A monkey-chief, son of

    Vālin 3. 266. 27; 3. 272. 17.

    A. Qualities: Wise (prājña- 3. 267.

    54), eloquent (vāgmī 3. 268. 9), and lustrous

    (tejasvī 3. 268. 22). B. Functions: Sent

    with Hanūmant and others to the south in

    search of Sītā; on their way back, rested in

    the Madhuvana of Vālin (3. 266. 27); he,

    along with other monkey-chiefs, protected

    Rāma's army of monkeys on their way to

    Laṅkā 3. 267. 19; after crossing the ocean Rāma

    sent him as his envoy (dautyena) to Rāvaṇa

    3. 267. 54; reaching the gate of Laṅkā he

    informed Rāvaṇa of his arrival (3. 268. 7),

    and then conveyed Rāma's message (10-16)

    to Rāvaṇa; when four Rākṣasas tried to

    capture him by holding him at his four limbs,

    he jumped up with them in the sky to reach

    a terrace; on his return, honoured by Rāma

    3. 268. 19, 22. C. Part in war: Helped

    Lakṣmaṇa in his fight against Indrajit; he

    struck Indrajit with a tree on his head;

    Indrajit wanted to hit Aṅgada on his chest

    with a missile (prāsa) but it was cut off by

    Lakṣmaṇa; Indrajit struck him on his left side

    with gadā; enraged, Aṅgada hurled the trunk

    of a Śāla tree to kill Indrajit, but it struck

    his chariot and destroyed it together with

    horses and charioteer 3. 272. 14-18; he was

    among the monkey-chiefs who surrounded

    Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa when they lay on the

    ground bound by the arrows of Indrajit

    3. 273. 4; he and the other monkey-chiefs

    applied water, sent by Kubera, to their eyes

    which enabled them to see beings who made

    themselves invisible 3. 273. 13; he, along

    with others, surrounded Rāvaṇa rushing

    towards Rāma, and destroyed with trees

    Rāvaṇa's army 3. 274. 3. D. Reward:

    Rāma anointed Aṅgada, who had done his

    duties (kṛtakarmāṇam), as crown prince of

    Kiṣkindhā 3. 275. 57.
