Description in the Javanese wayang retellings: Sometimes known as Anantaboga. Ananta means "unending" and boga means "food". He was turned into a God by King Tribuwana and he inhabits the Saptapratala heaven. He owns the Aji Kamayan, which grants him the power to become a human being at will. When angry, the movement of his tail can cause a commotion in the worlds of the mortals and the heavens. He often helped the Pandawa. He is shaped like a snake.
Notes on the Indian retellings: Not mentioned in the Indian Mahabharata.
