Five Snake Daughters

 


Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati were seated in deep meditation on the bank of a sacred lake. At that moment, a gentle smile appeared on Lord Shiva’s face. From that divine smile, five pearls emerged and fell into the lake via Parvati . From these five pearls, five maidens were born—but not in human form; they were born in the form of serpent maidens (Nāga Kanyās).

According to the Shiva Purana, the names of Lord Shiva Parvati’s five Nāga daughters are:
  1. Jaya,
  2. Vishahar,
  3. Shamilbari,
  4. Deva, and
  5. Dotali.
Lord Shiva also granted a special boon to these daughters. According to this blessing, any devotee who worships Lord Shiva along with these five Nāga maidens with faith and devotion:
will be
  1. fearless
  2. wealth,
  3. food,
  4. knowledge
  5. prosperity
