Legends of the humanoids

Reptilian humanoids (9)

Naga 2 – Shesha, the king of the serpents [Part 1]

The Brahma Purana describes the reign of Shesha as the king of the serpents in Patala:

During the night the light of the moon is not utilised for its coolness but only for illumination.

Since that passes away is not taken notice of by the Nāgas who enjoy with gaiety the foodstuffs and the edibles they consume and the great beverages they drink.

Nor are Danujas and others aware of it.

O brahmins, the forests, rivers, lakes, and lotus ponds, the cooing of the cuckoo and other sweet birds, the pleasing skies, the unguents and the continuous notes and sounds of musical instruments such as the lute, flute and Mṛdaṅga drums, O brahmins—all these and other beautiful things are enjoyed by virtue of their good luck by Dānavas, Daityas and Nāgas residing in Pātāla. The Tāmasī form of Viṣṇu, named Śeṣa (Shesga) beneath the lower regions.

Daityas and Dānavas are not capable of recounting his good qualities. He is honoured by Devas and celestial sages. He is spoken of as Ananta. He has a thousand hoods and he is clearly bedecked in Svastika ornaments devoid of impurities. He illuminates all quarters by thousand jewels on his hoods.

— Brahma Purana, Chapter 19

伝説のヒューマノイドたち

ヒト型爬虫類 (9)

ナーガ 2 〜蛇の王、シェーシャ(難陀竜王) （その1）

『ブラフマ・プラーナ』には、冥界 (ﾊﾟｰﾀｰﾗ)における蛇の王としてのシェーシャの治世が描かれている：

夜の間、月の光は涼しさのためではなく、灯りとしてのみ活用される。

月明かりが過ぎ去ってしまわないので、ナーガたちは、彼らが食い潰すことを許された食材や食べ物、そして彼らが飲む格別な飲み物を歓喜して楽しむが、そのことに注意を払わない。また、ダヌージャたちもそれに気づかない。

バラモンたちよ、森、川、湖、蓮池、カッコウなどの鳥の鳴き声、心地よい空、香油、リュート、フルート、ムリダンガム太鼓の楽器の絶え間ない響きや音、これらすべての美しいものは、パーターラに住むダーナヴァ、ダイティヤ、ナーガたちの幸運によって享受されている。シェーシャという名のヴィシュヌの魔性形は、下界の下にいる。

ダイティアとダーナヴァは、彼の善良な資質を語ることができない。彼はデーヴァと天界の賢者によって尊ばれている。彼はアナンタとして語られる。彼は千の頭巾を持ち、不純物のないスヴァスティカの装飾品ではっきりと飾られている。彼は頭巾の上の千の宝石によってすべての四方を照らす。

- ブラフマ・プラーナ第19章

I told @prettykittytanjiro about my Shesh x Quetzalcoatl ship and they spit out their juice (not really but cranberry juice on a garment would've been fun).

This was the exact reaction of Vishnu and Tezcatlipoca btw.

Publishers’ Binding Thursday

This week for Publishers’ Binding Thursday I am sharing Indian Fairy Tales, selected and edited by New South Wales-born folklorist and writer Joseph Jacobs (1854-1916) with illustrations by English painter, illustrator, and printmaker John D. Batten (1860-1932). Jacobs is best known for popularizing well-known versions of classic children’s tales like “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” Batten illustrated a series of books by Jacobs, all focusing on folk and fairy tales.

The binding features an illustration of who I think may be the Hindu goddess of snakes, Manasa, resting in a lotus flower on the 7-headed snake demigod Shesha printed in red on tan book cloth. According to good old Wikipedia, Manasa is often pictured under the hoods of 7 cobras, not necessarily the multi-headed Shesha. On the reverse is the god Ganesha also printed in red with a little mouse at his feet. I believe the cover illustration to have been done by Batten, as there is a B near the bottom left of the cover image and the image of Ganesha is featured on the Wikipedia page for Batten. Of course, please take this information with a grain of salt, as most of this was researched on Wikipedia and we all know things on the internet can be wrong.

This book is from our Historical Curriculum Collection, which features books for children. I’ve included illustrations and details from the book that I personally love, like the little historiated letter O with a mouse in it, the serpent in the shape of the letter N, the kitty cat, and of course, the old hag.

Me needs Vishnu x Tez bromantic hcs ft. Quetz and Shesh maybe :3

Probably sent this ask hoping for one or two headcanons, but too bad. You're getting a speech.

-So, they first met while trying to set up Shesh and Quetz. Tez didn't know anything about the Hindu pantheon and vice versa with Vishnu, and they both just heard someone they hang out with a lot (in Tez's case, his brother) say "So I met this cute guy" and Vishnu probably went "Cool, you need any help with that?" And Tez went "Oh fuck no, you can't date to save your life here I'll set you up".

-When they met, each with no knowledge on the other's pantheons, I imagine their conversation to be like this: "My brother is such an idiot." "I'm sure he's not that bad, my friend likes him a lot." "Maybe his flirting won't go to waste if my brother actually UNDERSTANDS that he's being flirted with."

-After they met, they clicked pretty quickly, they started off trying to make their respective friend/brother (in Tez's case) realize the other's clear feelings, but then they started just hanging out.

so here are some hcs on their relationship after then, because I don't want to bore you with backstory

-Vishnu is the "If someone hurts you I'll heal you" type and Tez is the "If someone hurts you I'll kill them" type. They compliment each other well.

-Tez is a master at UNO. He taught Vishnu how to play, and they often just play UNO if there's no other pastime.

-They watch murder mystery TV shows. Tez can determine the murderer in about .5 seconds except he doesn't know why and Vishnu can explain to him in a TED talk exactly why the murderer is the murderer and how to catch him/her.

-They both love Disney movies, surprisingly.

-Like Shesh and Quetz, they also like to point out the historical inaccuracies in shows/movies.

-Tez can metabolize any kind of alcohol, although he rarely drinks. Based on previous hcs, Vishnu often prefers milk (despite being lactose intolerant. That's just lactose intolerant culture). They sometimes go to bars together just because one of them want to try it out gain.

-Tezcatlipoca has like 60 cats. Wild cats, house cats, etc. Vishnu comes over just for his cats.

-Vishnu is overall more successful in getting Shesh to admit his feelings, although the two of them have a little friendly competition over who can get the other to stop being more dense. The current bet is up to 200 dollars.

Anyway, that's all for now, sorry it wasn't neat and kinda rambley but I do have a LOT of thoughts on these characters!

Day 2: Shesha reflects

Of all the weird and downright awkward ways mortal life may have ended, his always did by drowning. Crazy, right? Ananta Shesha – the longest, strongest, hundred-headed snake who holds the Earth drowns to death. In Earth’s oceans, no less. Garuda never lets him live it down. Sometimes, Shesha thinks that bird is more trouble than it’s worth. Not that he would ever mention it to his Lord.

He does not prefer thinking of his life on Earth. Here, in Vaikunth, with his Lord dozing with his head on Mother’s lap, and with Ksheera’s gentle murmurs in his ears, it is easy to forget the vile lust of Surpanakha’s brother (what was his name again- ?), and the shifty eyes of Vibhishan (for no matter what the Lord says, traitors are always traitors, and he admires Indrajit more anyway), and the utter derangement of the Kurus. Especially the derangement of the Kurus. Shesha has never been more grateful for Indra’s heaven – hopefully, those morons will permanently stay there. Afterlife is supposed to be a new start, but Shesha wishes to have nothing to do with them. He likes his wife clothed in public, and all his brothers alive, thank you kindly. And no, neither of the statements may be summarily disputed.

In any case, as his Lord prepares to go to Earth again, Shesha is content to stay behind. He has no desire to witness another war – for all his rage as Lakshmana, he is actually as calm as Balarama. In fact, he would have loved to remain as Krishna’s brother, forever forsaking his weapons in favour of a plough, walking across Aryavart, teaching people to build and rebuild what has been broken, had it not been for that idiot Duryodhan and his equally idiotic cousin Yudhisthir. How Sachi put up with either of them is beyond him.

Also, the Lord decided to make him the older brother. Never will Shesha ever joke about age differences again. The number of times he had had his ear pulled out of his head by Mother Yashoda would exceed the number of heads he presently had. Sometimes, he still had to lift his hand to rub at the phantom sting in his ear, before remembering he had neither.

Garuda is whining, and Shesha has no idea why. It is not like he will be taken along. The Lord is stubborn when his mind is made up. Besides, Ksheera is sending those not-so-gentle waves, which means she is displeased. No doubt, he will have to pacify her afterwards. She is terrifying when angry. Mother Lakshmi catches his eye and smiles. Shesha smiles right back. He knows now it will be alright. The Lord is his father, benevolent and firm, but the Goddess is his Mother, and Shesha knows, no matter how many times he mucks up, she will be there to help him through it while the Lord lectures at him. No wonder, he muses, people love their mother.

Now at last, after several tearful goodbyes, the Lord finally departs. Garuda is still whining. Shesha has half a mind to send him to Earth just to make him meet those knuckleheaded cretins that call themselves human. There is a visitor at the gates. Shesha takes one look at said visitor and promptly rolls his eyes. Narada. This was going to be another long day (or was it night? There was no Sun around here. Suryalok was far away.) Shesha did not care. His mother was here. Ksheera was here. The Lord was on a mission. The rest of the Universe could go to hell, thank you very much.

I love how Flynn’s real friends see through Shesha’s bullshit

Virgin Flynn simps: *get completely fooled by Shesha*

Flynn’s chad true friends: False messiah!

Also makes sense considering even when Flynn disagrees with them they never call him a false messiah.

"Eat at a local street food tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty 7Eleven store. Drive somewhere you’ve never been. Bring your Shisha. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the brewed coffee with no sugar. Eat a spicy kinilaw. Have a shot of pure dark Tanduay. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Appreciate your server. Check in on your good friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."
