In Hindu (Vedic) tradition, Shesha ( in IAST transliteration, Devanagari: शेष) or Sheshanaag (Shesha the Naga) ( in IAST transliteration, Devanagari: शेषनाग) or Adishesha( in IAST transliteration, Devanagari: आदिशेष) is the king of all nagas, one of the primal beings of creation, and according to the Bhagavata Purana, an Avatar of the Supreme God known as Narayana. In the Puranas, Shesha is said to hold all the planets of the Universe on his hoods and to constantly sing the glories of Vishnu from all his mouths. He is sometimes referred to as Ananta Shesha which means endless Shesha or as Adishesha which means the first Shesha. It is said that when Adishesha uncoils, time moves forward and creation takes place. When he coils back, the universe ceases to exist. "Shesha" also means "remainder": that which remains when all else ceases to exist.
