Aruna serves Lord Surya 😊and due to his mom he formed half form/not developed not full to fly 😎 he can't for Birds King just travel Surya vehicle only 😃

Garuda other side fully Formed released her mom slavery, part of Amruth saving from Nags. Serving Lord Vishnu 💪 eligible by flying Super Speed is Bird King 😃

Amoung all snakes brother only 3 brothers r most famous . Adi sheshnaag , Vasuki & takshak . Takshak is famous 4 his notorious activities .

Other naag brothers r king but they all come under naagraj Vasuki who is king of whole naaglok. As naaglok is not a divided in different part , it's one only. Its like ek kingdom ke under small small kingdoms hai

Lord Brahma asked naag clan to live beneath d earth. Some of them do rebel & started living on earth .

Acc to my knowledge sheshnaag passed his duties to Vasuki . It's like he is king of all kings that's why I said he is original naagraj.

Well, being the first born does make you the leader of all your brother. At least that is how it used to be in olden days. Even now, royalty follows the same accord. First born is technically the king unless he had some malformation or an abnormality which doesn't allow him to be the king.

Lord Arun is not considered the King of all Birds because he is malformed. He can't fly much. The story is that Vinata (Garud and Arun's mother) had two divine eggs while Kadru (Mother of all naags) had a 100 eggs. Kadru's eggs hatched quickly and the Naag brothers were born. Jealous of Kadru, Vinata broke the first of her two eggs and came out a still underformed Lord Arun. He felt bad. He was supposed to be born with great wings which would have divine light in them and was meant to be one of the most powerful birds and King of the Skies but now due to his malformation he couldn't get all that. Hence, in his pain and agony, he cursed Vinata to be a slave to her sister Kadru. After he cooled down, he realized that even his mother wasn't meaning to hurt him like that and told her that if she kept her patience long for his brother, he would be born as the greatest of all the birds. Hence, several years later Garud was born. He was perfect in every form and very powerful.

Naag lok is not divided, but yes, they do have king of various tribe. Of all those first born Nagas, Sheshnaag and Vasuki are the most powerful ones. Vasuki had scales that could not be easily broken. He had the strongest coils. Only Garud could get through them. That is why only Vasuki was chosen as rope for Amrit manthan. While Sheshnaag had the longest of the coils which were more smoother than the most exquisite silk. That's why he offered his coils as a place to rest to Lord Vishnu.

Lord Brahma asked naag clan to live beneath d earth. Some of them do rebel & started living on earth

Because the Naags earlier had troubles Garud's mother, Garud bore a lifelong enemity with Naags. He started hunting them and they became his primary prey. Everytime he saw a naag, he'd swoop down and eat them. Kadru had also earlier cursed them that they would all die because they refused to follow out her orders. If anyone wants to know that story. I'll post it up.

So, then due to fear of Garud and this curse, the rest of the naags began praying to Lord Shiva and spent their time to please him. Pleased with them, Lord Shiva offered them his protection. He ordered Lord Brahma to make a kingdom for all these Naags where they could live prosperously and fearlessly. Hence, Naaglok was created.

Acc to my knowledge sheshnaag passed his duties to Vasuki . It's like he is king of all kings that's why I said he is original naagraj.

Even before Vinata had become slave to Kadru, Sheshnaag took up penance in deep forests in search of meaning of his existence. He wasn't like his brother who were fine with how their lives were with Kadru. He did penance on Lord Brahma who told him that his destiny was to serve Lord Vishnu. Hence, he pleased Lord Vishnu and began serving him. According to the Vaishnav myths, he holds the earth up on his hood.

I'm not sure of his rebellion but in Mahabharat, he is said to be living in Khandava forest which was burnt to make the city. To counter the forest's destruction, Takshak's son came to fight Arjun. Arjun defeated him but he escaped somehow. Because his kingdom was taken away from him, Takshak took revenge by biting Parikshit who was cursed to die of snake bite. Hence, in anger, Janmajeya decides to burn all the snake in a yagya. Son of Devi Manasa (Vasuki's sister) tries to stop him. With that Takshak and his tribe is banished.

Technically he didn't rebel against his family. He was more or less like Kaliya naag. Kaliya naag was also one of the first born naags. Yet, his intensions were not good but Krishna set him straight.

If we go by technicalities, then yes being the first born would give one the right to be called the king, but if we go by practicalities, then it’s actually Vāsuki who is more accomplished as compared to his older brother, by virtue of which he would be recognized as the de facto ruler.

No Vasuki don't have more hoods then sheshnaag nor he is more powerful then sheshnaag.

Vasuki got defeated by meghnath later complained to sheshnaag about it .when sheshnaag as lakshman killed meghnath then naaglok again went to Vasuki .

Infact acc 2 bheel mahabharat ( which I feel is an frictional story ) karn chopped off some of d hoods of Vasuki with his divine khanjar given to him by lord Surya.

Vasuki no doubt is a very powerful & respected snake king infact he gave bheem power of 1000 elephants.

Sheshnaag is only snake which dont have enimity with Garuda & this is not coz of lord Vishnu. Enimity b/w other naags & Garuda there is a reason 4 it & Garuda is well aware of it .

Garuda saved sheshnaag human avtaar lakshman 2 this not coz of lord Vishnu or lord Ram . When meghnath tied ram Lakshman in naagpaash, hanuman went to bring garuda.

Sheshnaag passed his duties to Vasuki coz he know Vasuki will be a dutiful king & always protect naag clan which he proved also. Acc 2 some stories lord shiv gave him naagmani . He did tried to but lord shiv asked not to do so may be short period time takshak became d king.

Takshak is most notorious naag , 4 some reason he started living in khandaprastha under indra's protection , he became d reason of destruction of naag clan when he killed Parikshit to seek his revenge from arjun later janmejay organized a sarp yagna in which all snakes started to get killed & burnt & later sage astika saved naag clan by stopping d sarp yagya.

Adi sheshnaag , Vasuki ,is respected very much in naag clan coz of their qualities, takshak is not respected much in naag clan .

There r many stories why Vasuki naag is present in lord Shiva's neck.

That is as per that version only. Otherwise Vāsuki does have multiple heads from what I know, which is why it’s debatable and not conclusive.

Vasuki no doubt is a very powerful & respected snake king infact he gave bheem power of 1000 elephants.

Sheshnaag is only snake which dont have enimity with Garuda & this is not coz of lord Vishnu. Enimity b/w other naags & Garuda there is a reason 4 it & Garuda is well aware of it .

From what I know, Garuda hates all the Nagas, and that will include Sheshnaag too, and it is because of Lord Vishnu only since he is master and close ally.

Garuda saved sheshnaag human avtaar lakshman 2 this not coz of lord Vishnu or lord Ram . When meghnath tied ram Lakshman in naagpaash, hanuman went to bring garuda.

Again it was necessary and out of compulsion.

Sheshnaag passed his duties to Vasuki coz he know Vasuki will be a dutiful king & always protect naag clan which he proved also. Acc 2 some stories lord shiv gave him naagmani . He did tried to but lord shiv asked not to do so may be short period time takshak became d king.

Vāsuki generates the Naagmani out of the heat of the poison flowing within him, and that is exactly how cobras actually form mani’s in real life as well.

Takshak is most notorious naag , 4 some reason he started living in khandaprastha under indra's protection , he became d reason of destruction of naag clan when he killed Parikshit to seek his revenge from arjun later janmejay organized a sarp yagna in which all snakes started to get killed & burnt & later sage astika saved naag clan by stopping d sarp yagya.

Astilha again is Vāsuki’s human nephew and it was because of his intervention his Sister Mansa agreed to marry some sage as he had foreseen this.

Adi sheshnaag , Vasuki ,is respected very much in naag clan coz of their qualities, takshak is not respected much in naag clan .

How Vasuki is more accomplished as compared to his older brother ? Vasuki was dethroned & defeated by meghnath .

lakshman is not frictional character nor myth of Vaishnav community.

If lakshman would had not killed meghnath then Vasuki would had not became king of naags again.

Sheshaag full name is adi anant sheshnaag , there is no end to his hoods

Lord Garuda can never hold enimity against adi sheshnaag coz having enimity with him is equal to having enimity from lord Vishnu coz adi sheshnaag is one of form of lord Vishnu himself.

In geeta lord krishna himself had said I m Anant amoung naag clan , maybe 4 Garuda too he had said this. How can Garuda have enimity from himself only . Infact once narada ask Garuda to see future of sheshaag which Garuda failed to do so .
