yakṣasenāpatiḥ krūro guhyakaiḥ parivāritaḥ
puṇyā mandākinī nāma nadī hyacchodakā śubhā //

Maṇibhadra is the formidable general of the army of the Yakṣas and is always followed by his retinue of Guhyakas. The sacred Mandâkinî as well as the Achchhoda flowing through the earthly plains enters the sea. Towards the S. E. of the Kailâsa is the Sarvauṣadhi (full of every kind of herbs) Mount of red arsenic (manaḥśilâ) facing the Chandraprabhâ Mountain. The Mountain Hemaśriṅga (near it) shines red like the sun, below which there is a large lake of red water out of which comes a big river called the Lauhitya on the banks of which is the great heavenly forest known as Viṣoka. Maṇidhara Yakṣa resides there.—9-13.
