Abstract

The ultimate desire of every human being is to get perfection and people   do not accept reality. Even people want to change their natural physical being into their own imagined self.  Resultantly, remain almost same. Hayavadana majorly talks about this urge of human beings. Nagamandal talks on the traditions of sacrifice and the suppressed desires of human beings. If anything is desired by heart then God helps to fulfill those desires. Rani passes the chastity test by the help of Naga and proves her righteousness though she had physical relation with Naga.
