Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Gentlemen, I just checked V.S. Apte's Sanskrit to English Dictionary for " naga " - it says, " 1. A snake in general; particularly the cobra. " Naga means snake. For Sanskrit look no further than the Sanskrit dictionary. It also says that " nagaraj " is an epithet of Shesha (not any king cobra).

And it was not for sale. I examined it carefully. It glowed even in any darkness. It looked as described in Sri Garuda Puranam. That is real. And NOT for sale. I have a non-cobra nagamani, it is also not for sale. Anyone selling such a thing, how can they prove? > > But compared to bogus Lakshmi shank cheating, the naga mani is hardly an issue.
