According to tradition, Nagarjuna received these teachings from the nagas, serpent-like beings who had safeguarded the texts beneath the earth and in the depths of the ocean until humanity was ready to receive them, a legacy reflected in his name and in the distinctive canopy of naga hoods often shown rising behind his head in statuary. He is counted among the eighty-four mahasiddhas and is regarded as a pivotal figure bridging early Buddhist philosophy and the tantric traditions that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2
