Some fun pictures of Shesha in and around various parts of her enclosure.

what if sheshnag avatars have fangs bc well fucking snake (so like lakshman, balaram, and nityananda) and they all have different vibes to them

for lakshman theyre more fierce and menacing looking, balaram's is more cheeky and playful looking, and nitai's is more puppy and sweet looking

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

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。

Another line of original Digimon designed and drawn by me (unfortunately). All members of the line are virus attribute and I tried to tell a bit of a story with the evolutions.

Snakemon, Rookie/Child level. It is a reclusive and shy Digimon that is rarely seen and hard to befriend. It prefers to live in dry environments and defends itself with venom that can cause enough pain to drive away even Champion/Adult-level Digimon. The golden band around its neck is said by some to be proof that it is the descendant of a species that wore a holy ring but is not longer holy. Others believe it is simply decoration. Its special moves are Little Fang (where it bites an enemy and injects them with venom), and Toxic Bubble (where it spits a bubble of caustic venom).

Snakemon evolves to Cobramon. Cobramon is a powerful and dangerous reptile Digimon known for its extremely violent temper. While Cobramon will fly into a rage at the slightest provocation, in its rare moments of calm, it desires something more than an existence of combat. The twisting golden patterns and glimmering gems on the underside of its hood mesmerize any who see them, leaving them easy pickings for Cobramon's venom. Its special moves are Venom Fang and Venom Shot (where it bites its foe or spits venom, respectively), and Coil Crusher (where it wraps its foe in its body, simultaneously constricting them and cutting them apart with the blades that cover its body).

Cobramon evolves to Nagamon. In its desire to overcome the violent nature it had as Cobramon, Nagamon sought out wise elders Digimon like Kongoumon and Shakamon to learn from. I now practices discipline and meditation to reach enlightenment. While it avoids conflict, it is deadly when it fights. Its sword injects venom into anything it cuts, causing numbness and paralysis. The eye on its forehead allows it to see the weak points of its enemies. It's attacks are Serpentsword Strike (where it attacks with its sword, paralyzing and wounding its foe), and Nadi Tarangah (Where it conjures forth a gout of water to wash away its foes. That means 'surging river' in Sanskrit according to the online translator I used).

Nagamon evolves to Sheshamon. Sheshamon has obtained enlightenment and stands alongside Shakamon in the Digital World's hierarchy. Despite being a virus attribute, it works to support the structure of the network and is existence is said to be Vital to the continued existence of the Digital World. Ancient texts claim that a previous iteration of the Digital World descended into chaos and was reset by a legendary warrior, leaving Sheshamon as the only survivor who helped build the Digital World's current iteration. The ring that hovers behind its back contains a geocentric solar system that is believed to be the Digital World in miniature. The ring rotates throughout the day, with the sun being on top and noon and the moon being on top at midnight. The cobras living on the rim maintain the solar system's balance. Its attacks are Celestial Strike (where it attacks with its twin blades. The blades warp spacetime as they are swung, allowing them to target the foe's Digicore without harming their body) and Mantavara (where it warps spacetime to age its foe to dust in an instant).

This line contains the most mythological references I've put into any of my Digimon. Not so much in the first two, which are just a snake and a cobra, though Cobramon includes the alleged snake ability to hypnotize their prey. Nagamon is based on a naga, mythical half-snake/half-human beings found in multiple south Asian cultures, most famously in India. To be more accurate, it is a nagini, a female naga. Nagas were generally seen as benevolent or at least peaceful if appeased. Nagamon is going through a spiritual journey I based on Buddhism. Starting as a violent Cobramon, it seeks enlightenment through meditation and determination, seeking to overcome its violent nature. Nagamon's clothes are based on historical Indian clothing given a Digimon twist and the sword it carries is an Indian sword called a talwar. Nagamon's eyes being covered is feirly standard for human-faced Digimon while having one eye in the middle of the head is a reference to Sahasara, the crown chakra that is the basis for new age ideas about the third eye.
