Agha — an asura; friend of Kaṃsa. Appeared in the

guise of a boa-constrictor in order to devour Kṛṣṇa, his play-

mates and cattle in Bṛndāvana. Thinking it to be a part of

the landscape of the Bṛndāvana, Kṛṣṇa's playmates and

cattle entered his wide-open mouth. Kṛṣṇa understood the

situation, and after a little hesitation, he also went in and

killed him by choking his throat. Agha, however, attained

salvation.

Bhā. X. 12. 13-38; 13. 4; 14. 60.

agha , m. (= Pali id.), (1) sky, atmosphere; only in

aghaniṣṭha, q.v.; (2) in the lokāntarikā (q.v.) passage,

aghā aghasaṃvṛtā(ḥ) or aghasphuṭā(ḥ) (or other cpd.)

means miseries (? miserable) and enclosed by (full of, or the

like) miseries; so essentially Senart, Mv i note 405 f.

We could perhaps recognize the first agha as an adj. (so

in RV and once in BhāgP.); but it seems more likely that

it is the more familiar noun, which esp. in Pali often means

misery. In the Pali version (CPD s.v. ^2agha, end) we

should read aghā aghasaṃvutā, as Senart perceived

(texts asaṃvutā, a very old corruption); or at least, that

must have been the original version. The CPD assumes

an otherwise unknown adj. agha, aerial, without support,

which is inappropriate and implausible.

AGHA . The name of an asura. This asura was one of

the followers of Kaṃsa. According to the instructions

of Kaṃsa, Agha once set out to Gokula to kill Śrī

Kṛṣṇa. At that time Śrī Kṛṣṇa was playing on the

banks of the river Kālindī with other cowherds. Aghā-

sura watched the games of the children from the sky

above. Then he transformed himself into a colossal

serpent and lay with his mouth wide open; his open

mouth looked like an immense cave. The foul smell

coming from his mouth soon spread over the whole

place. Śrī Kṛṣṇa and the other children did not know

anything about this. In the course of their games they

walked into the cave-like mouth of Agha and were soon

trapped in his belly. Agha then closed his mouth and

all the boys including Śrī Kṛṣṇa were now imprisoned

inside his body. Some of the boys died. Realizing the

situation Śrī Kṛṣṇa now enlarged his body. His body

grew larger and larger until at last it burst open the body

of the serpent (Agha). Thus Agha was killed. Śrī Kṛṣṇa

then restored the dead boys to life by his divine looks

(Kaṭākṣa). This Aghāsura was the brother of Bakāsura

and Pūtanā. (Bhāgavata, Skandha 10, Chapter 12).
