A priest of the nearby temple located him and gave him to Professor Nagmani, who was wandering in the nearby forest searching for snakes. Later Vishandhar, an evil Tantrik placed him back into the same bushes in the river where he was found. Many years passed and the treatment started showing results and, although still in the suspended animation, the colour of the baby had gradually changed to green. He told them the location of the baby and asked them to cure him. Meanwhile, the snake deity Deva Kaljayi appeared in the dreams of King Maniraj and his wife Queen Manika, rulers of ageless Ichchhadhaari nags, living secretly on an invisible island in the Indian Ocean called Nagdweep. As per Hindu rituals, the newborn baby was thrown into the river. When the child was born, everyone believed him dead because his whole body was blue and showed no signs of life. The Snake God got angry and knocked her unconscious with his venomous breath. One day when the queen was going to pray to Deva Kaljayi, Nagpasha replaced the curtained plate of her offerings to the god with one containing a dead mongoose.
The absence of a prince or princess made Nagpasha, the younger brother of the King Takshakraj the only potential heir to the throne.
