SARIMANOK MEANING
The Sarimanok (Pronunciation: sá·ri·ma·nók), also known as papanok in its feminine form,[1] is a legendary bird of the Maranao people who originate from Mindanao, an island in the Philippines and part of the Philippine Mythology. It comes from the words "sari" and "manok." "Sari" means "assorted" or "various" while manok means "chicken" (ie "bird/chicken of assorted colors)".
NAGA MEANING
In Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, the Nāga (IAST: nāga; Devanāgarī: नाग) or Nagi (f. of nāga; IAST: nāgī; Devanāgarī: नागी)[1] are divine, semi-divine deities, or a semi-divine race of half-human half-serpent beings that reside in the netherworld (Patala) and can occasionally take human form. Rituals devoted to these supernatural beings have been taking place throughout south Asia for at least two thousand years.[2] They are principally depicted in three forms: wholly human with snakes on the heads and necks, common serpents, or as half-human half-snake beings.[3] A female naga is a "Nagi", "Nagin", or "Nagini". Nagaraja is seen as the king of nāgas and nāginis.[4] They are common and hold cultural significance in the mythological traditions of many South Asian and Southeast Asian cultures. They are the children of Rishi Kashyapa and Kadru.
