MEANING & CONTEXT
What does Nagendra mean?
Nagendra represents nāgendra, a compound of nāga, serpent, and indra in its chief or lord sense. In Sanskrit stories it can designate a great serpent or serpent king. The short-vowel spelling नगेन्द्र instead combines naga, mountain, with indra and can refer to the Himalaya.
