Kuvera - AncientVoice

Mbh.1.2.391	Then is narrated the ascent on the hills of Kailasa by Bhimasena, his terrific battle with the mighty Yakshas headed by Hanuman; then the meeting of the Pandavas with Vaisravana Kuvera, and the meeting with Arjuna after he had obtained for the purpose of Yudhishthira many celestial weapons; then Arjuna's terrible encounter with the Nivatakavachas dwelling in Hiranyaparva, and also with the Paulomas, and the Kalakeyas; their destruction at the hands of Arjuna; the commencement of the display of the celestial weapons by Arjuna before Yudhishthira, the prevention of the same by Narada; the descent of the Pandavas from Gandhamadana; the seizure of Bhima in the forest by a mighty serpent huge as the mountain; his release from the coils of the snake, upon Yudhishthira's answering certain questions; the return of the Pandavas to the Kamyaka woods.
Mbh.1.74.4028	I can repair to the abodes of Indra, Kuvera, Yama, and Varuna!
Mbh.1.85.4766	And having obtained youth for a thousand years, the king acquainted with the mysteries of time, and watching proper Kalas and Kashthas sported with the celestial damsel Viswachi, sometimes in the beautiful garden of Indra, sometimes in Alaka the city of Kuvera, and sometimes on the summit of the mountain Meru on the north.
Mbh.1.120.6428	Accompanied by his two wives, when he was on the point of following the Rishis in the northerly direction from the mountain of hundred peaks, those ascetics addressed him saying, In our northward march, while gradually ascending the king of mountains, we have seen on its delightful breast many regions inaccessible to ordinary mortals; retreats also of the gods, and Gandharvas and Apsaras, with palatial mansions by hundreds clustering thick around and resounding with the sweet notes of celestial music, the gardens of Kuvera laid out on even and uneven grounds, banks of mighty rivers, and deep caverns.
Mbh.1.172.8752	I am proud and haughty and am the friend of Kuvera.
Mbh.1.172.8755	How dare ye approach me who am the brightest jewel on the diadem of Kuvera'
Mbh.1.180.9230	The treasurer of heaven Kuvera had kept a large treasure for us.
Mbh.1.188.9430	And there came also the celestials on their cars, with the Rudras and the Adityas, the Vasus and the twin Aswins, the Swadhas and all the Marutas, and Kuvera with Yama walking ahead.
Mbh.1.198.9814	Then Soma and Sakra and Varuna and Kuvera, the Sadhyas, the Rudras, the Vasus, the twin Aswins, these and other celestials went unto Prajapati, the Creator of the universe.
Mbh.1.208.10273	In a delightful and auspicious part of the city rose the palace of the Pandavas filled with every kind of wealth and like unto the mansion of the celestial treasurer Kuvera himself.
Mbh.1.217.10627	I am, O mighty one, Varga by name, and ever dear unto the celestial treasurer Kuvera.
Mbh.1.217.10629	Accompanied by them I was one day going to the abode of Kuvera.
Mbh.1.228.11162	Yama, O king, took up the death-dealing mace, and Kuvera his spiked club, and Varuna his noose and beautiful missile.
Mbh.2.6.297	I shall, however, describe unto thee the rooms of the king of the departed Yama, of Varuna Neptune of great intelligence, of Indra, the King of Gods and also of him who hath his home in Kailasha Kuvera.
Mbh.2.6.309	Who wait upon Varuna and upon Kuvera in their respective assembly rooms.
Mbh.2.9.383	Listen now to the account I give of the assembly room of Kuvera
Mbh.2.10.395	Misrakesi and Rambha, and Chitrasena, and Suchismita; and Charunetra, and Gritachi and Menaka, and Punjikasthala; and Viswachi Sahajanya, and Pramlocha and Urvasi and Ira, and Varga and Sauraveyi, and Samichi, and Vududa, and Lata, these and a thousand other Apsaras and Gandharvas, all well-skilled in music and dance, attend upon Kuvera, the lord of treasures.
Mbh.2.10.397	The Gandharvas called Kinnaras, and others called Naras, and Manibhadra, and Dhanada, and Swetabhadra and Guhyaka; Kaseraka, Gandakandu, and the mighty Pradyota; Kustumvuru, Pisacha, Gajakarna, and Visalaka, Varaha-Karna, Tamraushtica, Falkaksha, and Falodaka; Hansachuda, Sikhavarta, Vibhishana, Pushpanana, Pingalaka, Sonitoda and Pravalaka; Vrikshavaspa-niketa, and Chiravasas, these O Bharata, and many other Yakshas by hundred and thousands always wait upon Kuvera.
Mbh.2.10.402	And, O tiger among kings, the illustrious husband of Uma and lord of created things, the three-eyed Mahadeva, the wielder of the trident and the slayer of the Asura called Bhaga-netra, the mighty god of the fierce bow, surrounded by multitudes of spirits in their hundreds and thousands, some of dwarfish stature, some of fierce visage, some hunch-backed, some of blood-red eyes, some of frightful yells, some feeding upon fat and flesh, and some terrible to behold, but all armed with various weapons and endued with the speed of wind, with the goddess Parvati ever cheerful and knowing no fatigue, always waiteth here upon their friend Kuvera, the lord of treasures.
Mbh.2.10.406	The virtuous Vibhishana also worshippeth there his elder brother the lord Kuvera Croesus.
Mbh.2.10.409	Besides these many other Rakshasas and Pisachas devils worship Kuvera in that assembly house.
Mbh.2.10.410	The son of Pulastya Kuvera formerly used always to worship in all the modes and sit, with permission obtained, beside the god of gods, Siva, the creator of the three worlds, that supreme Deity surrounded by his attendants.
Mbh.2.10.411	One day the exalted Bhava Siva made friendship with Kuvera.
Mbh.2.10.413	Those best of all jewels, those princes of all gems in the three worlds, viz, Sankha and Padma, in their personified forms, accompanied by all the jewels of the earth also in their personified forms worship Kuvera
Mbh.2.10.414	This delightful assembly house of Kuvera that I have seen, attached to the firmament and capable of moving along it, is such, O king.
Mbh.2.11.448	And Purandara the chief of the celestials, and Varuna and Kuvera and Yama, and Mahadeva accompanied by Uma, always repair thither.
Mbh.2.57.2315	And coming to the palace which was even like unto the mansion of Kuvera himself, the virtuous Vidura approached Yudhishthira, the son of Dharma.
Mbh.2.76.3269	Therefore, resolve thou earnestly to win victory, which belongeth to Indra; to control thy wrath, which belongeth to Yama; to give in charity, which belongeth to Kuvera; and to control all passions, which belongeth to Varuna.
Mbh.3.36.1888	And let Arjuna, O son of Pandu, go unto Mahendra and Rudra, and Varuna, and Kuvera, and Yama, for receiving weapon from them.
Mbh.3.41.2183	There came also the lord Kuvera of body resembling pure gold, seated on his car of great splendour, and accompanied by numerous Yakshas.
Mbh.3.41.2227	After these words had been spoken, the Kuru prince Arjuna endued with great strength, duly received from Kuvera that celestial weapon.
Mbh.3.80.3919	And without that hero of white steeds that forest looked like the Chaitraratha woods when deprived of the presence of Kuvera.
Mbh.3.83.4120	By saluting next the Yaksha called Mankanaka, that mighty gate-keeper of Kuvera, cue obtaineth the fruit of giving away a thousand kine.
Mbh.3.83.4172	O king, one should then proceed to the tirtha called Tarandaka situated in the Saraswati and belonging to the illustrious chief of the Yakshas who is one of the gate-keepers of Kuvera.
Mbh.3.89.4845	And it hath been heard by us that the sacred asylum of the Muni Visravas, had stood there, and that there was born the lord of treasures, Kuvera, having men for his vehicles.
Mbh.3.91.4910	And, O Yudhishthira, Arjuna of immeasurable prowess hath also acquired Vajras and Dandas and other celestial weapons from Yama and Kuvera and Varuna and Indra, O son of the Kuru race!
Mbh.3.139.7068	We shall now ascend that white rock, the mountain Mandara, inhabited by the Yakshas, Manibhadra and Kuvera, king of the Yakshas.
Mbh.3.139.7075	Besides these, O son of Kunti, here are fierce ministers of Kuvera and his Rakshasa kindred.
Mbh.3.149.7640	Proceeding in this direction, thou wilt behold the gardens of Kuvera, guarded by Yakshas and Rakshasas.
Mbh.3.152.7719	And it sprang from the cascades contiguous to the abode of Kuvera.
Mbh.3.152.7728	And this lake was the sporting region of the high-souled Kuvera, the king of the Yakshas.
Mbh.3.152.7730	And it was frequented by the celestial sages and the Yakshas and the Kimpurushas and the Rakshasas and the Kinnaras; and it was well-protected by Kuvera.
Mbh.3.153.7743	Thereat the Rakshasas said, O foremost of men, this spot is dear unto Kuvera, and it is his sporting region.
Mbh.3.153.7754	And, further this lotus-lake hath sprung from the cascades of the mountain; it hath not been excavated in the mansion of Kuvera.
Mbh.3.153.7775	Hearing their words, the god Kuvera smiled and then said, Let Bhima take for Krishna as many lotuses as he likes.
Mbh.3.154.7804	O best of the Bharatas, saying, So be it' Hidimava's son and the other Rakshasas who knew the quarter where the lotus lake of Kuvera was situated, started cheerfully with Lomasa, bearing the Pandavas, and many of the Brahmanas.
Mbh.3.154.7815	And with the knowledge of Kuvera, those foremost of Kurus for a short time dwelt pleasantly at that spot on the slopes of the Gandhamadana, expecting Arjuna
Mbh.3.155.7829	By this very way, do thou repair from this region of Kuvera to the place whence thou hadst come even to the hermitage of Nara and Narayana, known by the name of Vadari.
Mbh.3.155.7832	Having passed that, O Partha, thou wilt proceed to the hermitage of Arshtisena, and from thence thou wilt behold the abode of Kuvera'
Mbh.3.160.8115	And seeing the abode of Kuvera and the Rakshasas, lying slain on the ground, the king addressed his brother who was seated, saying, Either it be through rashness, or through ignorance, thou hast, O Bhima, committed a sinful act.
Mbh.3.160.8122	On the other hand, the Rakshasas that had survived those slain by Bhima fled in a body towards the abode of Kuvera.
Mbh.3.160.8124	And, O king bereft of their weapons and exhausted and with their mail besmeared with gore and with dishevelled hair they spake unto Kuvera, saying.
Mbh.3.160.8139	And with their down standing erect, the Pandavas saw that large assemblage of horses maintained by the lord of wealth and also the highsouled and graceful Kuvera himself surrounded by the Yaksha hosts.
Mbh.3.160.8140	And seeing those mighty charioteers the son of Pandu, possessed of great strength, equipped with bows and swords, Kuvera also was delighted; and he was pleased at heart, keeping in view the task of the celestials.
Mbh.3.160.8146	And Bhimasena did not feel depress either on having been wounded by the Rakshasas, or even in that plight seeing Kuvera arrive.
Mbh.3.160.8156	Vaisampayana said, Having spoken thus unto the king, Kuvera said unto Bhimasena, O child, O best of the Kurus, I do not mind this, O Bhima, as in order to please Krishna, thou hast, disregarding the gods and me also, committed this rash act, namely, the destruction of the Yakshas and the Rakshasas, depending on the strength of thy arms, I am well-pleased with thee.
Mbh.3.161.8199	Then lowering his club and mace and sword and bow, that foremost of the Bharatas bowed down unto Kuvera.
Mbh.3.161.8207	And as the horses proceeded towards the abode of Kuvera, a noise arose as of birds flying in the air.
Mbh.3.163.8260	And the flourishing sporting-regions, graceful on account of the various flowers, and abounding in gems, was capable of captivating that king, the dispenser of wealth Kuvera.
Mbh.3.175.8742	This that thou art receiving from Kuvera, thou wilt, O foremost of men, be able to attain any time.
Mbh.3.176.8757	SECTION CLXXVI Vaisampayana said, When they had left their happy home in the beautiful mountain abounding in cascades, and having birds, and the elephants of the eight quarters, and the supernatural attendants of Kuvera as dwellers thereof, all happiness forsook those foremost of men of Bharata's race.
Mbh.3.177.8782	Thou hast described him, that slayer of his enemies, as dismayed and appalled with fear, even him, who by fighting at the lotus lake of Kuvera became the destroyer of Yakshas and Rakshasas and who, in proud defiance, invited to a single combat, Pulastya's son, the dispenser of all riches.
Mbh.3.238.12000	For, O monarch, the king of the Gandharvas accompanied by his followers, had come thither beforehand, from the abode of Kuvera.
Mbh.3.255.12554	Then that chief of kings, the graceful Duryodhana, leaving those bulls among men, entered his apartment, like the lord Kuvera entering the garden of Chitraratha.
Mbh.3.263.12876	Methinks thou art a goddess, or a Yakshi, or a Danavi, or an excellent Apsara, or the wife of a Daitya, or a daughter of the Naga king, or a Rakshasi or the wife of Varuna, or of Yama, or of Soma, or of Kuvera, who, having assumed a human form, wanderest in these forests.
Mbh.3.273.13259	But, O monarch, Kuvera, the king of the Rakshasas, knowing that his father was angry with him, always sought to please him.
Mbh.3.273.13303	Markandeya continued, Having obtained this boon, the Ten-headed Rakshasa defeated Kuvera in battle and obtained from him the sovereignty of Lanka.
Mbh.3.273.13308	The pious Vibhishana, O King, treading in the path followed by the virtuous and possessed of great glory, followed Kuvera.
Mbh.3.287.14004	O great king, this water is a present to thee from Kuvera, so that all creatures that are invisible may, O chastiser of foes, become visible to thee!
Mbh.4.13.518	And in the exuberance of his joy, the noble-minded king rewarded Vallava then and there with the liberality of Kuvera.
Mbh.4.56.2165	And there shone in a splendid array, each in its proper place the cars of Agni and Isa and Soma and Varuna and Prajapati and Dhatri and Vidhatri and Kuvera and Yama, and Alamvusha and Ugrasena and others, and of the Gandharva Tumburu.
Mbh.4.63.2470	And those illustrious warriors ranged on the field of battle, using the celestials weapons obtained from Prajapati and Indra, and Agni and the fierce Rudra, and Kuvera, and Varuna, and Yama, and Vayu.
Mbh.4.70.2729	Equal unto Indra in wealth and Kuvera in hoarding, he is the protector of the worlds like unto Manu himself of mighty prowess.
Mbh.4.70.2737	And, O king, the Kauravas and other lords of earth always waited upon him like slaves, as the celestials upon Kuvera.
Mbh.5.16.738	Salya continued, While that best of Angira's race was thus speaking, there came that guardian of the world, Kuvera, and also Yama the son of Surya, and the old god Soma, and Varuna.
Mbh.5.16.746	You and the ruler of the waters, and Yama, and Kuvera shall this day be crowned along with me.
Mbh.5.16.751	Salya continued, Thus did the illustrious lord Indra, the chastiser of Paka, the giver of boons, bestow, after deliberation upon Kuvera the sovereignty over the Yakshas, and all the wealth of the world; upon Yama, the sovereignty over the Pitris; and upon Varuna, that over the waters'
Mbh.5.18.782	And the illustrious Agni, and the great saint Vrihaspati, and Yama, and Varuna, and Kuvera, the lord of riches, accompanied him.
Mbh.5.29.1227	Similarly, the constellations in the other world, by virtue of work, and the Rudras, the Adityas, the Vasus, king Yama, and Kuvera, and the Gandharvas, the Yakshas, and the celestial nymphs, all attained their present position by work.
Mbh.5.100.4702	They were incapable of being vanquished by Sakra or any other celestial, that is, by either Yama, or Varuna, or the Lord of treasures Kuvera.
Mbh.5.102.4756	The northern quarter comprising the region of virtue, and called after Kuvera the Lord of treasures, is supported by the cow named Sarva-kamadugha.
Mbh.5.111.5078	It was here, on the breast of Kailasa, O Galava, that Kuvera, was installed on the sovereignty of the Rakshasas, the Yakshas, and the Gandharvas.
Mbh.5.111.5092	It is in this region that the mountains of Kailasa lie, the abode of Ailavila Kuvera.
Mbh.5.114.5188	The wealth that is embowelled in the Earth is guarded by the deities called the Ajaikapats and the Ahivradnas, and also by Kuvera.
Mbh.5.114.5196	Solicited by thee in person, and urged by me, he will give what we seek, for he hath immense wealth, equal unto what belongeth to Kuvera, the lord of treasures.
Mbh.5.117.5285	And the royal sage then sported with her, as Surya with Prabhavati, Agni with Swaha, Vasava with Sachi, Chandra with Rohini, Yama with Urmila, Varuna with Gauri, Kuvera with Riddhi, Narayana with Lakshmi, Sagara with Jahnavi, Rudra with Rudrani, the Grandsire with Saraswati, Vasishtha's son Saktri with Adrisyanti, Vasishtha with Arundhati called also Akshamala, Chyavana with Sukanya, Pulastya with Sandhya, Agastya with the princess of Vidarbha Lopamudra, Satyavan with Savitri, Bhrigu with Puloma, Kasyapa with Aditi, Richika's son Jamadagni with Renuka, Kusika's son Viswamitra with Himavati, Vrihaspati with Tara, Sukra with Sataprava, Bhumipati with Bhumi, Pururavas with Urvasi, Richika with Satyavati, Manu with Saraswati, Dushyanta with Sakuntala, the eternal Dharma with Dhriti, Nala with Damayanti, Narada, with Satyavati, Jaratkaru with Jaratkaru, Pulastya with Pratichya, Urnayus with Menaka, Tumvuru with Rambha, Vasuki with Satasirsha, Dhananjaya with Kamari, Rama with the princess of Videha Sita, or Janardana with Rukmini.
Mbh.5.139.6240	In the presence of even that Ailavila Kuvera under whose command all the Yakshas live as servants, Yudhishthira the Just, shone with splendour.
Mbh.5.157.6949	Like the sun among all luminaries, like the moon unto all delicious herbs, like Kuvera among the Yakshas, like Vasava among the gods, like Meru among mountains, Suparna among the birds, Kumara among the gods, Havyavaha among Vasus, thou art amongst ourselves.
Mbh.5.163.7357	If Yama himself, or Kuvera, or Rudra, assisteth thee, the Pandavas will still accomplish what they have vowed!
Mbh.5.170.7713	Dhananjaya himself is the warrior who fighteth from it; his, again, is that celestial bow called Gandiva; he owneth again those steeds fleet as the wind; his coat of mail is impenetrable and of celestial make; his two large quivers are inexhaustible; his arms have been obtained from the great Indra, Rudra, Kuvera, Yama and Varuna; and upon his car, again, are those maces of frightful mien, and diverse other great weapons having the thunderbolt amongst them!
Mbh.5.195.8721	Meanwhile, sometime after the exchange of sexes had taken place Kuvera, who was always borne on the shoulders of human beings, in course of a journey through the earth, came to the abode of Sthuna.
Mbh.6.6.344	Therefrom a fourth part is enjoyed by the holy Kuvera.
Mbh.6.6.360	On the summits of Gandhamadana, Kuvera the lord of the Guhyakas, with many Rakshasas and accompanied by tribes of Apsaras, passeth his time in joy.
Mbh.6.50.2602	Enraged Yama himself, or He armed with the thunder, or even Varuna noose in hand, or Kuvera armed with mace, may be vanquished in battle but the mighty car-warrior Bhishma, of great energy is incapable of being vanquished.
Mbh.7.1.38	Even thus was he classed during the counting of Rathas and Atirathas, he that is the foremost of all Rathas and Atirathas, he that is respected by all heroes, he that would venture to fight even with Yama, Kuvera, Varuna, and Indra.
Mbh.7.6.188	As Kapali amongst the Rudras, Pavaka among the Vasus, Kuvera among the Yakshas, Vasava among the Maruts, Vasishtha among Brahmanas, the Sun amongst luminous bodies, Yama among the Pitris, Varuna among aquatic creatures, as the Moon among the stars, and Usanas among the sons of Diti, so art thou the foremost of all leaders of forces.
Mbh.7.65.2829	They that are acquainted with the history of ancient times seeing the superhuman affluence of Rantideva, sing this song, viz, We have not seen such accumulated treasures even in the abode of Kuvera; what need be said, therefore, of human beings'
Mbh.7.67.2904	Vaisravana Kuvera became their milker, and Vrishadhvaja their calf.
Mbh.7.69.2952	Vyasa said, Then the son of Srinjaya, of wonderful splendour, appeared, that child resembling the son of Kuvera himself, bestowed by the gratified Rishi on the bereaved father.
Mbh.7.70.3038	Without doubt, Yama and Varuna and Satakratu and Kuvera, obtaining thee as a favourite guest, are making much of thy heroic self.
Mbh.7.78.3439	And then he beheld, in the pleasure-gardens of Kuvera the beautiful lake decked with lotuses.
Mbh.7.198.11294	Everything that is done for propitiating Indra, and Yama, and Varuna, and Kuvera and Pitris and Tvashtri, and Soma, is really offered to thee.
Mbh.7.199.11518	And since, afflicting Brahma and Indra and Varuna and Yama and Kuvera, he destroyeth them ultimately, he is for that reason called Hara.
Mbh.8.17.714	Struck with those arrows, those two foremost of men, like Kuvera and Indra, became bathed in blood.
Mbh.8.37.1973	If Yama, Varuna, Kuvera, and Vasava, with all their followers coming hither, unitedly protect the son of Pandu in this great battle, what need of many words, I will still vanquish him with them
Mbh.8.42.2311	Know this, O Shalya, that I would not take fright at Yama himself armed with his rod, or Varuna himself armed with his noose, or Kuvera himself armed with his mace, or Vasava himself armed with the thunderbolt, or at any other foe whatever that may approach for slaying me.
Mbh.8.70.4108	Possessed of great might and resembling Kuvera and Yama, he destroyeth the hostile army, putting forth his strength.
Mbh.8.90.5651	That diadem was incapable of being crushed by Rudra and the Lord of waters and Kuvera with Pinaka and noose and thunderbolt and the very foremost of shafts.
Mbh.8.92.5899	Brave kings, who in energy, courage, and might, were equal to Kuvera or Yama or Vasava or the Lord of the waters, who were possessed of every merit, who were almost unslayable, and who were desirous of achieving thy object, have in battle been slain by the Pandavas.
Mbh.9.44.3245	Possessed of great strength, some amongst them partook of the nature of Yama, some of Rudra, some of Soma, some of Kuvera, some of Varuna, some of Indra, and some of Agni, O scorcher of foes.
Mbh.9.45.3386	Rama beheld at that spot the excellent woods of Kuvera.
Mbh.9.45.3387	In days of yore, the high-souled Kuvera, the chief of the Yakshas, having practised the severest austerities there, obtained many boons.
Mbh.10.9.686	People also said that in encounters with the mace thou, a disciple of Sankarshana, wert like the Lord of treasures Kuvera, himself!
Mbh.12.5.190	In consequence of a Brahmana's curse, as also of the curse of the illustrious Rama, of the boon granted to Kunti and the illusion practised on him by Indra, of his depreciation by Bhishma as only half a car-warrior, at the tale of Rathas and Atirathas, of the destruction of his energy caused by Salya with his keen speeches, of Vasudeva's policy, and, lastly of the celestial weapons obtained by Arjuna from Rudra and Indra and Yama and Varuna and Kuvera and Drona and the illustrious Kripa, the wielder of Gandiva succeeded in slaying Vikartana's son Karna of effulgence like that of Surya himself.
Mbh.12.15.617	Kala and Mrityu and Vayu and Kuvera and Surya, the Vasus, the Maruts, the Sadhyas, and the Viswadevas, O Bharata, are all slaughterers.
Mbh.12.44.2206	Looking like the mansion of Kuvera himself, it was adorned with gold and every kind of gem.
Mbh.12.56.3038	The king should administer justice like Yama and amass wealth like Kuvera.
Mbh.12.58.3244	The divine Kuvera, borne on the shoulders of human beings, that lord of Yakshas and Rakshasas, gave him wealth enough for gratifying the needs of religion, profit, and pleasure.
Mbh.12.66.3693	With thy strength enhanced in this way, and becoming invincible and possessed of great prowess, thou wilt be our king and protect us happily like Kuvera protecting the Yakshas and the Rakshasas.
Mbh.12.67.3760	When he gratifies with profuse gifts of wealth those that have rendered him valuable services, and snatches away the wealth and precious stones of those that have offended him, indeed, when he bestows prosperity upon some and takes it away from others, he is then, O king, said to assume the form of Kuvera on earth.
Mbh.12.121.6901	Kuvera was made the lord of treasures and of all the Rakshasas.
Mbh.12.138.8244	By making gifts of wealth unto those that are dear to him, the king comes to be regarded as Kuvera, the grantor of wishes.
Mbh.12.206.12515	The Supreme Soul of all creatures also made Kuvera the lord of all treasures.
Mbh.12.279.17117	He is Brahma; He is the highest Righteousness; He is Sat and He is Asat He is Sruti; He is the scriptures; He is the Sacrificial vessel; He is the six and ten Ritwijes; He is all the Sacrifices; He is the Grandsire Brahman; He is Vishnu; He is the twin Aswins; and He is Purandara He is Mitra; He is Varuna; He is Yama; He is Kuvera the lord of treasures.
Mbh.12.289.18152	The royal Kuvera, the chief of the Yakshas and the Rakshasas, is the lord of the treasury of Indra, that master of the universe
Mbh.12.289.18153	The great ascetic Usanas, crowned with Yoga-success, entered the person of Kuvera, and depriving the lord of treasures of his liberty by means of Yoga, robbed him of all his wealth
Mbh.12.289.18156	Kuvera, represented the matter unto Siva of immeasurable energy, that first of gods, fierce and amiable, and possessed of various forms.
Mbh.12.289.18178	That foremost of Yogins viz, Usanas, rich with that wealth of penances and the wealth he had appropriated from Kuvera, shone brightly in the three worlds, endued with great energy
Mbh.13.14.1393	Thou art Kuvera among all the Yakshas, and thou art Vishnu amongst all the sacrifices
Mbh.13.16.1609	Thou art the Grandsire Brahma, thou art Bhava, thou art Vishnu, thou art Skanda, thou art Indra, thou art Savitri, thou art Yama, thou art Varuna, Soma, thou art Dhatri, thou art Manu, thou art Vidhatri and thou art Kuvera, the Lord of treasures.
Mbh.13.17.2341	Thou art the king of the Yakshas, called Kuvera, who is thy inseparable associate and who is the Lord of all treasures in the world.
Mbh.13.17.2705	Thou art Kuvera, the chief of the Yakshas.
Mbh.13.19.2955	He saw also the Mandakini and the Nalini of the high-souled Kuvera, the Lord of Treasures
Mbh.13.19.2968	Having said these words, Kuvera took the hand of that foremost of Brahmanas and led him into his palace.
Mbh.13.19.2970	After the two had taken their seats, the Yakshas of Kuvera headed by Manibhadra, and many Gandharvas and Kinnaras, also sat down before them.
Mbh.13.19.3005	Of wonderful structure, that mansion surpassed the place of Kuvera himself in every respect.
