PŪRṆABHADRA II. The son of a Yakṣa called Ratnabhadra living on the mountain Gandhamādana. He had a son named Harikeśa (Piṅgala). Harikeśa was a devotee of Śiva and so Pūrṇabhadra who was a devotee of Kubera sent Harikeśa away from his house. Harikeśa was then taken care of by Śiva and made one of his attendants. (Matsya Purāṇa, Chapter 18).
