Naigamesha
''Naigamesha'' ((サンスクリット:नैगमेष), ) is a goat-headed Jain deity, associated with children. He also appears in Hindu traditions, associated with the war-god Kartikeya and childbirth. ==Associations== Naigamesha is known by a variety of names: Negamesha, Nemesha, Naigameshin, Negamesi, Harinegamesi. The last is translated as "Negamesi, the general of Hari (Indra)". Another interpretation says that it is derived from ''harina'' (deer) and ''mesha'' (ram).〔 Naigamesha is the benefactor and protector of children in Jainism. While the Greek satyr Pan is depicted with the lower body of a goat, Naigamesha has a goat head; in both cultures, the goat denotes fertility.〔Van der Geer pp. 170–171〕 He is worshipped to beget children.〔
