Serpent Deities (Nagas)

কর্কোটকস্য নাগস্য

(Karkotakasya Nagasya in Bengali)

Also known as karkotakasya nagasya damayamtya nalasya ca

The shloka is centered around the figures of Karkotaka, a serpent king, Damayanti, a princess, and Nala, a king, as well as the sage Krutaparna. These figures are significant in Hindu mythology, particularly in the context of the story of Nala and Damayanti, which is a tale of love, separation, and reunion, often recounted for its moral and spiritual lessons. This specific shloka highlights the power of reciting the names and stories of these revered figures.

কর্কোটকস্য নাগস্য দমযংত্যা নলস্য চ ।
ক্রুতুপর্ণস্য রাজর্ষেঃ কীর্তনং কলিনাশনম্ ।।
