  Name of a son of Vāli, monkey-king of Kiṣkindhā. Compare अङ्गदो वालिनन्दने, नपुंसि बाहुवलये... । Nm. [He was born of Tārā, Vālī's wife, and is supposed to have been an incarnation of Bṛhaspati to aid the cause of Rāma (and hence noted for his eloquence). When, after the abduction of Sītā by Rāvaṇa, Rāma sent monkeys in all quarters to search for her, Aṅgada was made chief of a monkeytroop proceeding to the south. For one month he got no information, and, when consequently he determined to cast off his life, he was told by Sampāti that Sītā could be found in Laṅkā. He sent Māruti to the island and, on the latter's return with definite information, they joined Rāma at Kiṣkindhā. Afterwards when the whole host of Rāma went to Laṇkā Aṅgada was despatched to Rāvaṇa as a messenger of peace to give him a chance of saving himself in time. But Rāvaṇa scornfully rejected his advice and met his doom. After Sugrīva Aṇgada became king of Kiṣkindhā. In common parlance a man is said to act the part of Aṅgada when he endeavours to mediate between two contending parties, but without any success.]

दम्dam4Pto tame, subdue

दम्^उ उपशमे

Class 4P · Parasmaipada · पुष्-आदि, शम्-आदि, घट्-आदि gaṇas

to tame, subdue

N.B. commenting on this dhātu, सिद्धान्त-कौमुदी says उपशम इत्य् ण्य्-अन्तस्य । तेन सकर्मको 'यम्, न तु शमि-वद् अकर्मकः "the word उपशम in दम्^उ उपशमे is made from a ण्य्-अन्त-धातु । thus दम्^उ is sakarmaka, unlike शम्^उ which is akarmaka" । the word उपशम in दम्^उ उपशमे is made from उप + शम्^उ + ^ण्इ + ^घ्अ^ण् and there is no vṛṣṇīndra because of HNV sūtra 397 । thus the sense is cause to be calm" or, in other words, tame, subdue ।" this उपशम is different from the उपशम in शम्^उ उपशमे which is formed from उप + शम्^उ + ^घ्अ^ण् and which just means be calm ।"

HNV 541: शम्-आदीनां त्रिविक्रमः श्ये (the अ of the śam-ādis becomes trivikrama when ^श्य follows) ।
