Hindu mythology, Vedic and Purānic . ious.* 2. Man asa.Manasa is the sister of Vasuki, king of the snakes ;the wife of Jaratkaru, a sage ; and being the queen ofthe snakes is regarded as the protectress of men fromthose reptiles. Another name by which she is knownis Vishahara, the destroyer of poison, Generally, offerings are made to her without any image being made, a branch of a tree, a pan of water, an earthen snakebeing her representative ; when her image is made, it is that of a woman clothed with snakes, sitting ona lotus, or standing upon a snake.
