Jāṅgali

Jāṅgali · jāṅgali, “a muni”

Jāṅgali is a muni. The Brahma Vaivarta Purāṇa names him among those who came to the yajña of Kaṃsa.

At Kaṃsa’s yajña

When Kaṃsa feared the son of Nanda, his purohita Satyaka told him to perform the yāga of Maheśa, the Dhanuryāga. Kaṃsa sent messengers in all directions, and all the munis came, and the kings came with their retinues. In the list of those who came, the dikpālas and all the devatās, brāhmaṇas and tapasvins come first. Among the munis named after them are Viśvāmitra, Sutapas, Pippala, Śākaṭāyana, Jābāli, Jāṅgali, Āpiśali and Śilālika.
