Ajagara

Ajagara (Sanskrit: अजगर) refers to a boa constrictor or large serpent in Hindu mythology and Sanskrit literature. The term often carries symbolic weight, representing laziness, ignorance, or a life of ease. The Ajagara-vrata is a vow or lifestyle where one lives without effort, accepting whatever comes without seeking or striving. This vow is sometimes associated with a lack of ambition or spiritual stagnation, while in other contexts, it can represent detachment and acceptance of divine will. The specific interpretation of Ajagara and the Ajagara-vrata varies depending on the philosophical school and the text in question.
