'Naga Pooshani' - Serpent God.
'Nagapooshani' is a sankrit word which can be split into two different words namely “Nagam” - “Snake” and “Pooshan” - “Jewel”. Since she wears the snakes as her aabaranam or jewel she is popularly called as Naagapoosani Ambal. She is also known by the name Nagamani Amman meaning one who wears snakes as her necklace. She cures all naaga dhosham and gives wealth to those who worship her with faith. She is the main deity in the Nagapoosani temple(Nainatheevu) in Jaffna, where she is represented as an ancient 5 headed cobra. This temple was built by the Nagas

Then lord Narayana taught him the Indrakshi sthothra. He told Narada that by reciting this Sthothra, one can lead a disease free happy life. Sage narada taught it to Indra, who in turn taught it to Sage Purandara.who made it known to the world.
