According to Puranic scriptures, Brahma’s son Kashyapa had four wives. The “first” wife gave birth to Devas; the second, to Garudas; the third—named Kadroo–, to N?gas; and the fourth, to Daityas. N?gas were the rulers of P?t?l-Loka.
While others contend that Rishi Kashyap had two or thirteen wives.
The following Sanskrit names of Nine Great N?gas, namely, Ananta, V?suki, Shesha, Padman?bha, Kambala, Shankhap?la, Dh?rtar?shtra, Takshaka, and Kaliya:

May this Nag Panchami be gracious to all and bless us with victory in our life in every sphere.
