Hindu folklore tells of nโga, snakes that can sometimes assume human form. One nโga took on a man’s shape in order to be ordained a monk; the Buddha refused it, but gave it directions on how to ensure it could be reborn as a man after death, in which form it could be ordained. The nโgas also carry the elixir of life and immortality. They are objects of great reverence in some parts of southern India where it is believed that they bring fertility and prosperity to their venerators.
