10. We are not sure what the seven nāgas refer to here. In some traditional representations of the Buddha, he is presented as sheltered by a seven-headed nāga, which refers to the nāga that sheltered him from the storm shortly before his awakening. Perhaps the mention of seven nāgas in this text is related to this?
