Serpent Deities (Nagas)

కర్కోటకస్య నాగస్య

(Karkotakasya Nagasya in Telugu)

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.
