Historical references
Aranab is believed to be a variant of Arjuna, a central character in the Indian epic Mahabharata. Arjuna was one of the five Pandava brothers, and a great warrior and archer. He was a key figure in the battle of Kurukshetra and was guided by Bhagavad Gita, the divine scripture spoken by Lord Krishna.
circa 400 BCE
Another reference suggests that Aranab may be derived from the Sanskrit word 'aruna', which means 'dawn' or 'red'. This could be a reference to the god Aruna, the charioteer of the sun god Surya. Aruna is also known as Surya's eyes and is sometimes depicted with a red face and eyes.
