The
Dynasty.
The
first
King
of
the
aṅga
dynasty
was
aṅga
the
son
of
bali.

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.

Parva,

Drought
in
the
kingdom
of
aṅga.
lomapāda
(
romapāda
)
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
swallowed
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
rainfall
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.

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
).
