A bronze statue of Buddha and the naga, from Thailand

In Buddhism, nāga is the Sanskrit word for a deity taking the form of a very great snake, specifically the king cobra with multiple heads.
The naga who protects Buddha during his meditation is better known as Mucalinda.
To protect him, Mucalinda rolled himself under the Buddha and lifted him from the ground, spreading his seven heads as a roof above the Buddha,thus protecting him from all evil.
