Indian Epigraphical Glossary
English
Śarabhaṅga (IE 8-3
8-8
EI 23), a leader of forces
an
officer of the military department
possibly, a military governor
same as Persian Sarhang and Hindī Serāṅg
also spelt Sarabhaṅga
and Sarobhaṅga
Wilson's Glossary explains Sarhang as ‘a com-
mander’ and says, “but [it is] generally applied in India to
the headman of a native crew, whether on board a ship or a
boat
also to the headman of a gang of natives attached to artill-
ery, dragging guns, or to the army in general, as tent-pitchers,
and the like, or to the head of gangs of a superior order of labour-
ers employed in public or private works, in docks, buildings,
etc.’ Cf. Vogel, Ant. Ch. St., pp. 123, 166 (spelt Sarobhaṅga),
Ind. Cult., Vol. VII, p. 309. Kane (Hist. Dharm., Vol. III,
p. 1005) is certainly wrong when he thinks that it may be con-
nected with śarayantra and Śarayantrin (a title bestowed in Mithilā
upon a very learned man who faced the ordeal of answering
satisfactorily all questions on any śāstra put to him by learned
Ācāryas and also the questions put by common people). See Ep.
Ind., Vol. XXXV, pp. 95. ff. See Sarāṅgha, Sarāhang, etc.

पुराणम्
English
शरभंग / ŚARABHAṄGA. A Maharṣi, who lived in the daṇḍaka forest during the ‘forest-life’ of śrī rāma. (vālmīki rāmāyaṇa, Araṇyakāṇḍa, Canto IV). When Śrī rāma visited Śarabhaṅga's āśrama, indra too came there, but went away saying that he would meet the maharṣi after the great mission of rāma was over. The maharṣi told rāma that he was waiting to see him and did not accompany indra to Devaloka as he wanted to go there only after seeing rāma. rāma answered the Maharṣi that he would take upon himself all the spiritual assets and good results of the actions of the Maharṣi, and wanted him to point out a place for them (rāma and others) to live. śarabhaṅga directed them to the āśrama of sutīkṣṇa, and after that ended his life by leaping into the fire and attained Brahmaloka.
