Anańga

By Jit Majumdar

1. without body, formless, limbless, incorporeal.
2. another name for Kāma, the god of love and desire – whose body was burnt to ashes by Śiva’s fire of anger, thus rendering him incorporeal or formless – referring to the formless omnipresence and subtlety of love and desire.
