Kubera's garden-keeping Yakshas

Kubera's garden-keeping Yakshas are described as demigod attendants of Kuvera, the god of wealth. Their defining role is service: they tend the garden and treasures associated with him, placing them among the supernatural beings who maintain a divine household and its riches.

Identity and Status

An explanatory gloss identifies the Yakshas as demigods and singles out their association with Kuvera. It gives them a collective identity and function rather than naming individual members or describing a particular Yaksha’s story.

Service to Kuvera

The gloss connects their service to two responsibilities: caring for Kuvera’s garden and attending to his treasures. Their place beside the god of wealth thus joins the keeping of a cultivated space with the protection or management of riches; the text does not detail how either duty is performed.

Place in the Mythic World

The account presents the Yakshas as part of the divine order surrounding Kuvera, not as a separately narrated group with a described conflict or plot arc. Their brief definition establishes their supernatural status and household role, while leaving their individual identities and other activities unspecified.
