Nagpasha, the twin brother of King Takshakraj, ruled the city of Takshak Nagar.
His singular dream was to become the king of Takshak Nagar, and he was content knowing that he would soon ascend the throne. This was because his elder brother, Takshakraj, had no heir. Nagpasha always indulged in luxury, while King Takshakraj was a noble ruler, deeply concerned with the welfare of his subjects. As the ancestors of the king were worshippers of snakes, they held great reverence for them. Due to the serpent’s grace, Takshak Raj possessed an unimaginable treasure, guarded by the serpent deity Kaljayi. The king’s devotion to serpents led to his wife, Queen Lalita, being blessed with a child through Kaljayi’s boon.
All were joyous except Nagpasha, whose dream of attaining the kingdom and treasure shattered. Resorting to cunning tactics, he forced Queen Lalita to prepare a meal invoking the wrath of Kaljayi. However, upon witnessing the king’s forgiveness and compassion, Kaljayi granted Lalita a new lease of life, but with the condition that she could only save either the child or herself. Takshak Raj chose the queen, and Kaljayi infused the poison intended for her into the child. Though the queen survived, the child did not.
Upon seeing his living wife, Nagpasha, consumed by rage, sought revenge from Kaljayi. However, with a strike of Kaljayi’s tail, Nagpasha was rendered mad. Attempting to flee, he stumbled upon two vessels, one containing poison and the other containing nectar. Falling onto them, he drank the nectar, attaining immortality, but the poison disfigured his face. Fleeing with a burning visage, he disappeared forever.
Upon learning of Nagpasha’s treachery, Takshakraj summoned a sage and directed him to place the entire treasure in a single sesame seed. Only his son could break it, as the king had realized that his presumed dead son was alive and harbored resentment. The sage carried out the king’s instructions, and upon witnessing the treasure being taken away, Nagpasha, now immortal, slew the king and queen in a fit of rage. He then vanished, never to be seen again.
Nagpasha possesses not only immortality but also mastery in occult powers taught through tantra. Despite this, he constantly relies on his mentor, Guru Dev, and his disciple Kenteuki. Guru Dev, proficient in both tantra and science, always accompanies Nagpasha, providing assistance. Guru Dev is an adept in the fields of tantra and science, a skillful player. He previously identified the birth constellation of Nagraj, locating him in the “Nagdweep” comics, where he creates a child using the ashes of the Nagdweep Emperor Maniraj and Nagpasha’s skin. This child is Maniraj’s biological son and Nagpasha’s half-brother, serving as the executive emperor of Nagdweep. All these actions are performed for the benefit of Nagpasha, acknowledging that, powerful as he may be, he lacks intellect.
Knowing that Nagpasha, like a child, calls upon his Guru Dev for help when facing defeat, Nagraj has taken advantage of this weakness in situations like the “Mahayudh” comics. However, despite Nagpasha’s victories, his repeated failures against Nagarahaj showcase his dependence on Guru Dev. In times of desperation, Nagpasha calls out to his Guru Dev, a child seeking help, a vulnerability that Nagraj has exploited. In the “Nagayan” comics series, Nagpasha is portrayed as Cruropasha, resembling Ravana, emphasizing his ruthless nature.
