Payana Water Dragon Legend

Naga (Sanskrit: नाग, IAST: Nāga) is a snake god in Hindu mythology. The creature resembles a giant snake in appearance, with one or more heads; its imagery is often seen in Brahmanism, Hinduism, and Buddhist scriptures.

Naga was originally a snake king with the characteristics of a snake head, but it was only translated into a dragon king when Buddhists translated scriptures. Whether it is the Dragon King or the Snake King, Naga is in charge of water sources and is also the patron saint of water, including rivers, lakes, and seas, which are all within their jurisdiction. It is a very important guardian beast in Thailand. Some people say that Payana is the snake king, and some people say that it is an incarnation of the dragon. It is called Nang or Phayanang in Thailand. There is a golden crown on the head, red eyes, and scales like fish, but the scales have various colors. The color distinction is based on various blessings. Some are green, some are black, and some are seven-colored. He is also the throne and protector of PhraVishnu. There is a huge body, the length of the body is endless, there are thousands of heads.

It is said that Nang can be born on the ground or in water, from the womb or egg. His divine power can be good or bad, good or evil, has great domineering power, and has the advantage of winning the crowd. According to legend, Nang is a rainbow staircase to the universe. He is the god of water, and some places say that he is the god of heaven. He likes to transform into a beautiful and handsome human being. For example, it is recorded in the Buddhist scriptures that he once incarnated as a human being, in order to practice with the Buddha, when the Buddha went to practice in various cities, he practiced under the tree of Mujalin for seven days in order to preach. During the practice, it rained heavily. Phayanang incarnates around the Buddha's robe, and then propped up the Buddha's robe to cover the rain and wind until the rain and the wind stopped, and turned into a young man to stand beside the Buddha's robe. It means that he has a mentality of faith and worship towards the Buddha.
