Gālava’s Eastern Ascent with Garuḍa; Counsel on Kāla and Upāya (उद्योगपर्व, अध्याय ११०)
अत्र राक्षसयक्षाणां गन्धर्वाणां च गालव,गालव! इसी दिशामें कैलास पर्वतपर राक्षस, यक्ष और गन्धर्वोका आधिपत्य करनेके लिये धनदाता कुबेरका अभिषेक हुआ था। उत्तर दिशामें ही रमणीय चैत्ररथवन और वैखानस ऋषियोंका आश्रम है
atra rākṣasa-yakṣāṇāṃ gandharvāṇāṃ ca, gālava; gālava! asyāṃ diśi kailāsa-parvate rākṣasānāṃ yakṣāṇāṃ gandharvāṇāṃ cādhipatyaṃ kartum dhanadaḥ kuberaḥ abhiṣiktaḥ. uttarāyāṃ diśi eva ramaṇīyaṃ caitraratha-vanaṃ ca vaikhānasa-ṛṣīṇām āśramaś ca.
Here, O Gālava—yes, Gālava!—in this very region, upon Mount Kailāsa, Dhanada Kubera was consecrated so that he might hold sovereignty over the Rākṣasas, Yakṣas, and Gandharvas. And in the northern direction as well lie the delightful Caitraratha grove and the hermitage of the Vaikhānasa sages.

Educational Q&A
The passage emphasizes cosmic and social order: legitimate sovereignty is established through consecration (abhiṣeka), and even powerful non-human classes are placed under a recognized ruler (Kubera). It also links authority with sacred geography, suggesting that places like Kailāsa and Caitraratha embody an ordered, dharmic cosmos.
Yūparṇa addresses Gālava and points out a northern sacred region: on Mount Kailāsa, Kubera was installed as overlord of the Rākṣasas, Yakṣas, and Gandharvas; nearby are the famed Caitraratha grove and the hermitage of Vaikhānasa sages.
