Sesh nag is the thousand headed serpent which forms the bed of Vishnu on the ocean of Milk. Generally he also incarnates with Vishnu or separately when the need arises.
He was the laksmana of Ramayana
he was the Balarama elder brother of Krishna and he was also the sage Pathanjali who composed the yoga sutras.

Sheshnaag is a mythological big snake having 1000 heads which holds the earth on it.
Philosophically Sheshnaag is void (Shesh - resultant)...thus earth is held by the void

It is interesting to see that the dominant god Vishnu finds the serpent Shesh Naag as an ally and protector and loyal servant of lord Vishnu. Thus Vishnu is supposed to sleep on a bed made from the coils of the serpent Shesh Naag (read Shesh for the Sace or Shak people and the Naag their deity they worshipped) in his heavenly abode in heaven or Baikunth. The same Shesh accompanies the lord Vishnu when born as lord Ram. Ram?s brother Laxman is said to be the incarnation of the serpent Shesh Naag. So, in bringing Ram and Laxman as brothers the attempt is to emphasise the developing alliance of the foreigner Shesh people and the native Aryans as seen by the Brahmin writers of epic Mahabharta and Ramayana in the face of rising tide of Budhism. The Budhists are described as Daintyas (see for example the few lines about Baudh Avtar in Dasam Granth which is translation of Bhagvat Puran). In Mahabharat lord Krishna is the incarnation of Vishnu but his brother is Baldev who also is an incarnation of Shesh Naag.

I think Sheshnaag of Hindu mythology has its symbolic meaning of all vices in Human-being.When all these vices are won over, he dances over it.
