Manasamangal Kāvya

Manasamangal Kāvya (Bengali: মনসামঙ্গল কাব্য) is recognized as the oldest of the Bengali Mangal-Kāvyas, chronicling the establishment of the snake-goddess Manasa's worship in Bengal. The goddess holds alternative names such as Bisahari, Janguli, and Padmavati.In the Kāvya, she is also derogatorily referred to as "Chyang-muri Kaani"(The One-Eyed Wretch") by Chand Sadagar.
