Castes and Tribes of Southern India/Sarangulu

by Edgar Thurston

Sarangulu.——Recorded, in the Nellore district, as being sailors. The name is doubtless equivalent to Serang, which has been defined †^[1] as meaning "a native boatswain, or chief of a lascar crew; the skipper of a small native vessel."
