Nagarjuna (2nd-3rd century) was one of the most important philosophers of Buddhism and the founder of the Madhyamika school.

In some legends, Nagarjuna was befriended by the nagas, which are snake beings that live in unseen realms. Nagas appear in many Hindu and Buddhist myths. In this story, the nagas had been guarding sutras containing teachings of the Buddha that had been hidden from mankind for centuries.

The nagas gave these sutras, called the Wisdom Sutras -- to Nagarjuna, and he took them back to the human world.
