The Well of the Cobra was a pool located in the Cobra city of Vyakarana. It was filled with the blood shed from the birth of each new Cobra, and when they died, the Cobra souls were drawn by their blood, to rejoin these pools instead to go through the Akasha. The Cobra eggs were washed in the Well, in a ritual which made the Cobra souls to reborn in Cobra bodies. If a Naga passed many incarnations in this way he became insane, inbred, isolated, and unable to see the whole of the world.
