	Mucalinda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mucalinda or Mucilinda is the name of a naga (a snake-like being), who protected the Buddha from the elements before his enlightenment.
		It is said that four weeks after Śākyamuni Buddha began meditating under the Bodhi tree, the heavens darkened for seven days, and a prodigious rain descended.
		However, the mighty king of serpents, Mucalinda, came from beneath the earth and protected with his hood the one who is the source of all protection.
