P. 546 (477). *Anga*.—The easternmost country named in the Atharva-Veda (V. 22, 14) ; so called after its king Anga (Mahâ Bhârata, Adi-p. CIV., 4179-*ff*) who seems to be identical with Anga Vairochani mentioned in Aitareya Br. (VIII., 4, 22) ; [Anga (body) of the Love-god Kâma was consumed here and so it is so called (Râmâyana, Adi-k. XXIII). It became an appendage of Magadha in Jarâsandha's time. (Sabhâ—P. XXIX. 1090-3.)]
