Manasamangal Kāvya

Manasamangal Kāvya (Bengali: মনসামঙ্গল কাব্য) is recognized as the oldest of the Mangal-Kāvya, chronicling the establishment of the snake-goddess Manasa's worship in Bengal. Initially, Manasa was worshipped by the Dravidians, who hoped she would safeguard them from snake-related dangers. The goddess holds alternative names such as Bisahari, Janguli, and Padmavati.
