A Trilingual List of Naga Rajas, from the Tibetan

Reference - Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain & Ireland, 1894 By L.A. Waddell, M.B., B.R.A.S.,pp.91-92

The Lamas, as is well known, have preserved in very full form much archaic Indian lore, now otherwise imperfectly known or altogether lost. And a valuable feature of such Lamaist literature is the frequent use of bilingual names, where the Sanskrit name is supplemented by a most careful etymological translation into Tibetan, thus enabling us to fix the etymology of many of the Hindu and Buddhist mythological and historical names, regarding which vague guesses are often hazarded. These Tibetan etymologies, though not necessarily the true ones, are certainly those which over a thousand years ago were the current traditional etymologies in India. And as, even apart from etymological features, categorical lists of little known personages, mythological or prehistoric, are helpful to students of both Buddhism and Hinduism, I here give a list of Naga Rajas from the Mahāvyutpatti, in the bTan-hgyur (Ten-gyur) section of the Lamaist Scriptures. This list, which may be compared with that in the Vayu Purana, seems to include many of the Vedic terrestrial Naga Kings, the aboriginal enemies of the primitive Aryans, whose more direct descendants are now confined chiefly to the remote hills of Nagpur, Chhota Nagpur, etc., etc. Tibetan literature contains much information about these Nagas, one of Buddha's titles being 'King of the powerful Nagas.'

The transliteration is done strictly according to Csoma de Koros system, with the exception that in the Sanskrit column the ds, ts, tsh, ny, and the Annusvara have been respectively transliterated by j, ch, chh, ñ, and ṅ. It will be noticed that the Tibetans always represent v by b. The English translations, forming the third column, have been mostly made from Jaschke's Tibetan Dictionary.

The terminal o, apparently as a Pali vestige, seems to favour the antiquity of the source from which the original list was compiled. The supplementary list of the Plebian Nagas does not show this peculiarity.

Notes -

  • Karkotaka resided, according to Hodgson (Lang. Lit. etc., reprint, p. 115), in the lake which traditionally occupied the site of the present Nepal Valley, and when the lake was dessicated 'by the Sword of the Manjusri, Karkotako had a fine tank built for him to dwell in, and is there still worshipped; as well as in the Cave-temple attached to the great Buddhist Shrine of Swayambhu Nath in Nepal. A range of hills in Rajputana named 'Kārkota' seems associated with Nagas (Ind. Arch. Surv. Hep. vi. p. 167). And 'Karkota' is the name of a Kashmir dynasty mentioned in Raja Tarangini and elsewhere, dating from the seventh century AD; and of a 'Kota' dynasty (Ind. Arch. Surv. Rep. xiv. 45).
  • Mahapadmo is the tutelary Naga of the Yollur lake in Kashmir.
  • Takshako, one of the sons of Kasyapa by his Naga wife Kadru.
  • Sagaro - This Sagaro is to be distinguished from the other of the same name numbered 37 on this list. This seems to be the Sagaro Nagaraja who secured the golden begging bowl (Sujata's or Nandabala's gift) of Sakya Muni, which he threw into the Nairanjan after partaking of its restorative contents when about to attain Buddhahood. See also Csoma de Koros' Analysis in As. Res. zx. p. 448.
  • Anabatapta, the great Himalayan Manassarovara Lake, the source of the four great rivers — the Indus, Tsangpu, etc. See Hiuen Tsiang (Bealb's tr.) ii. 41 ; and Cs. de K's Analysis, p. 448.
  • Sankho seems the Sankhachuda of the Nagananda, loc, cit, p. 68; and it may also be the same name intended by Fa Hian's Samkassa xvii. worshipped for rain. He is worshipped (Buhler, Ind. Antiquary, vi. p. 270) in a lake near Dharindha, in Larpagman, in Kashmir.
  • Kalo, this may be the same as the 'Mahakala nagaraja,' referred to in Hardy's Monachism, p. 274.
  • Panchalo. Compare 'Panchala' in Indian Antiquary, vii. p. 11.
  • Kaliko. Compare Krishna's combat with the Serpent Kalika.
  • Hastikachchho seems to be the Naga's name of the lake at Hastinapura — 'the Naga or Elephant city' — of the Sudhana Jataka.
  • Elapatro, mentioned by Hiuen Tsiang, he. cit ii. 41.
  • Huluda. Compare Cs. de K.'s Analysis, p. 92.
  • Sudarshano is evidently the Sudassana, the son of Nagaraja Dhatarattha, of the Bhuridatta Jataka, No. 547 of Fausboll's list.
