Manasa, also Manasa Devi, is a goddess of snakes, adored principally in Bengal and different pieces of northeastern India, mainly for the counteractive action and fix of snakebite and furthermore for ripeness and thriving. Manasa is the mother of Astika, sister of Vasuki, lord of Nagas (snakes) and spouse of sage Jaratkaru (Jagatkaru).She is likewise known as Vishahara (the destroyer of poison), Nitya (eternal) and Padmavati.She is the little girl of Shiva and his wife, Parvati and sister of Vasuki. In certain sacred texts, sage Kashyapa is viewed as her dad, not Shiva. Manasa is portrayed as being caring to her aficionados, however cruel to individuals who wouldn't love her. Denied full godhead by her blended parentage, Manasa's point was to completely set up her position as a goddess and to procure resolute human fans. She is otherwise called Nagalakshmi.
Manasa first shows up in the Atharvaveda . As a Hindu goddess, she was perceived as a girl of sage Kashyapa and Kadru, the mother of all Nagas. By the fourteenth century, Manasa was recognized as the goddess of fruitfulness and marriage customs and was acclimatized into the Shaiva pantheon, identified with the god, Shiva. Legends celebrated her by depicting that she spared Shiva after he drank the toxic substance, and adored her as the "remover of toxic substance". Her notoriety developed and spread to southern India, and her devotees started to match Shaivism (the religion of Shiva). As an outcome, stories crediting Manasa's introduction to the world to Shiva developed and eventually Shaivism embraced this indigenous goddess into the Brahmanical convention of standard Hinduism.Manasa is portrayed as a lady secured with snakes, sitting on a lotus or remaining upon a snake. She is protected by the shade of the hoods of seven cobras. Some of the time, she is delineated with a kid on her lap. The kid is thought to be her son, Astika.She is frequently called "the one-looked at goddess" and among the Hajong tribe of northeastern India she is called Kani Diya (Blind Goddess).
The Mahabharata tells the narrative of Manasa's marriage. Sage Jagatkaru rehearsed extreme starknesses and had chosen to keep away from marriage. When he went over a gathering of men swinging from a tree topsy turvy. These men were his predecessors, who were bound to hopelessness as their kids had not played out their last ceremonies. So they exhorted Jagatkaru to wed and have a child who could free them of those agonies by playing out the functions. Vasuki offered his sister Manasa's hand to Jagatkaru. Manasa brought forth a son, Astika, who liberated his predecessors. Astika likewise helped in sparing the Naga race from pulverization when King Janamejaya decided to eradicate them by relinquishing them in his Yajna, fire offering.The Puranas are the principal sacred writings to talk about her introduction to the world. They proclaim that wise Kashyapa is her dad, not Shiva as portrayed in the later Mangalkavyas. Once, when snakes and reptiles had made disarray on the Earth, Kashyapa made the goddess Manasa from his psyche (mana). The maker god Brahma made her the directing god of snakes and reptiles. Manasa oversaw the earth, by the power of mantras she recited. Manasa then appeased the god Shiva, who advised her to satisfy the god Krishna. After being satisfied, Krishna conceded her perfect Siddhi powers and customarily venerated her, making her a set up goddess.
Kashyapa wedded Manasa to sage Jaratkaru, who consented to wed her depending on the prerequisite that he would leave her in the event that she ignored him. Once, when Jaratkaru was stirred by Manasa, he ended up annoyed with her since she stirred him past the point of no return for love, thus he left her incidentally. On the solicitation of the incomparable Hindu divine beings, Jaratkaru came back to Manasa and she conceived an offspring to Astika, their child, before forsaking his better half once more.
