अंगद Explanation: this is for angad, anangada would thus be अनांगद see this site: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:3sVD_TK... where it says: There's "anangada," a favorite of Mr. Kshirsagar's, who likes how it can refer to either an upper arm bracelet or a hero in the Hindu literary masterpiece, the Ramayana. Trouble is, the chacter in the Ramayana they refer to is better known as Angada http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angada and angad is also the word for bracelet. See http://www.mybaby.net.au/baby-name-full-detail/angada/19108/... "an" as a prefix usually means "without" or "not". so it's the same two meanings, with or without the "an" prefix. I'd be happy if somone can tell us whether the prefix changes the sense of the word(s). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-06-21 20:51:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- from the site below I see that anangada is interpreted as "without bracelets" but there is also another meaning to the word right after that. The whole paragraph is full of double meanings for the same or similar sounding words: http://nitaaiveda.com/All_Scriptures_By_Acharyas/Vishvanatha... Although They are anangada (without armlets) They are anangada (giving erotic joy to each other). However, the first article I quoted above is the full version of the article you quoted so I don't know how relevant this one is. |

Something to do with Kamdev Explanation: I couldn't find any reference to anagada, but the first part of the name anang, suggests Kamadev, the god of love. Anang is one of the names of Kamadev after his body was reduced to ashes by Shiva. The word means body-less. Kamdev is also mentioned in Mahabharata, for after he lost his body, he is said to have reborn as Pradymna, the offspring of Krishna and his wife Rukmini. The suffix -gada is common in Sanskrit, and it suggests something emanating from the word to which it is attached, for example it could mean the child of the first part of the word. However, the two children of Kamdev are Anirudh and Trisha. I have not heard of Anangada as a child of Kamdev. The term could just be a meaningless word used as a name for a person. Compare with other similar words like Chitrangada. The relation of this word to Angad, seems far-fetched to me. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 घंटे (2010-06-22 01:23:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ---- I forgot you also wanted to see how this word is written in Devnagari. Here it is: अनंगदा In Hindi it has no meaning as such, and is only used rarely as a name of a person, usually for girls. |
