Female equivalent of Nagendra (Indian)?

Does anyone know the female equivalent of the Indian boy's name Nagendra (meaning "lord of snakes")?

I'm looking for an Indian name for a girl that means "Lady of Snakes." Or something close. It has to have "snake" (naga) in its meaning though.

How about Nagina or Nagini? Nagin is the feminine form of naga. It means "female snake."

Nagina was a character in Rudyard Kipling's THE JUNGLE BOOK. It was often mistranslated as Nagini.

Nagini was also a character featured in the Harry Potter book series ;-)
