Profile

Origin

Nagaraja is a Sanskrit term which means "naga king". In Hinduism, examples of naga kings include Shesha, Vasuki, and Takshaka. In Buddhism, examples of naga kings include Mucalinda, Dhataraṭṭha, and Apalala. While not a naga himself, the heavenly king Virupaksha is also described as the leader of the nagas.
