    Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)


    Angiras in Natyashastra glossary... « previous · [A] · next »

    Aṅgiras (अअअअअअअअ) is the name of a sage who was in the company of


    Bharata when he recited the Nāṭyaveda them, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra
    chapter 35. Accordingly, they asked the following questions, “O the best
    Brahmin (lit. the bull of the twice-born), tell us about the character of the
    god who appears in the Preliminaries (pūrvaraṅga). Why is the sound [of
    musical instruments] applied there? What purpose does it serve when
    applied? What god is pleased with this, and what does he do on being
    pleased? Why does the Director being himself clean, perform ablution again
    on the stage? How, O sir, the drama has come (lit. dropped) down to the
    earth from heaven? Why have your descendants come to be known as
    Śūdras?”.

    1) Aṅgiras (अअअअअअअअ).—Birth. He is a hermit born from the mind of


    Brahmā. Six mind-born sons (Mānasa-Putras) were born to Brahmā, known
    as Marīci, Aṅgiras, Atri, Pulastya, Pulaha, and Kratu. All the six of them
    became great hermits. (Mahābhārata, Ādi Parva, Chapter 65, Stanza
    10).* (See full article at Story of Aṅgiras from the Puranic encyclopaedia by
    Vettam Mani)
    2) Aṅgiras (अअअअअअअअ).—In the family of Marīci, son of Brahmā, another
    King of the name of Aṅgiras is seen.
    Genealogy. Descended from Viṣṇu in the following order: Brahmā, Marīci,
    Kaśyapa, Vaivasvata Manu, Uttānapāda, Dhruva, Śiṣṭi, Ripu, Cākṣuṣa Manu,
    Ūru, Aṅgiras. (About this Aṅgiras, no other information is available in the
    Purāṇas. Viṣṇu Purāṇa, Aṃśa 1, Chapter 13; Agni Purāṇa, Chapter 18).

    Aṅgiras (अअअअअअअअ) is mentioned as one of the seven mind-born sons of


    Brahmā, also known as the seven prajāpatis, or the seven brahmās,
    according to the first chapter of the Brahma-purāṇa (on the origin of Devas
    and Asuras). Accordingly, “Desirous of evolving creation befitting these, he
    created Prajāpatis (Lords of subjects) viz. Marīci, Atri, Aṅgiras, Pulastya,
    Pulaha, Kratu and Vasiṣṭha. Thus the lord of great refulgence created seven
    mental sons. In the Purāṇas these are known as the seven Brahmās”.
    The Brahmapurāṇa (mentioning Atri) is one the
    eighteen mahāpurāṇas originally composed of over 10,000 verses. The
    first three books of the extant edition contains a diverse amount of topics
    such as creation theory, cosmology, mythology, philosophy and genealogy.
    The fourth and last part represents pilgrimage’s travel guide
    (māhātmya) and narrates the legends surrounding numerous holy spots
    (tīrtha) around the Godāvarī region in India.
