² The Mahābhārata, however, tells us that Anga was so called after its king Anga (Adiparva, CIV., 4179 ff) who seems to be identical with Anga Vairocani mentioned in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa (VIII, 4, 22) The Rāmāyaṇa says that anga or body of the love-god Kāma was consumed here and the country was, therefore, called Aṅga (cf. CAGI., Notes, p. 722).
