pan-asia legend

Because of their prominence in Buddhism, Naga lore is familiar throughout Tibet and the Sinoshere, where they are conflated and identified with Chinese dragons. When an important Mahayana scripture first appeared in Korea in the 6th century, it's authors claimed one of them had been taken to the undersea palace of the Naga king to retrieve it from safekeeping there. This story was good enough for the scripture to be received as canonical, as described in:

The Formation of Ch'an Ideology in China and Korea: The 'Vajrasamadhi-Sutra', a Buddhist Apocryphon, by Robert E. Buswell (1989)

Even Euro-americans exploring and converting to Buddhism quickly become familiar with Naga lore. Nichiren Buddhists all over the Western Hemisphere, for example, can recite the enlightenment story of the Naga girl / Dragon king's daughter in the Lotus Sutra.
