Aṅga.—The name occurs only once in the Atharvaveda¹ in connection with the Gandhāris, Mūjavants, and Magadhas, as distinct peoples. They appear also in the Gopatha Brāhmaṇa² in the compound name Aṅga-magadhāḥ. As in later times they were settled on the Sone and Ganges,³ their earlier seat was presumably there also. See also Vaṅga.
