Gālava’s Eastern Ascent with Garuḍa; Counsel on Kāla and Upāya (उद्योगपर्व, अध्याय ११०)
अत्र मन्दाकिनी चैव मन्दरक्ष द्विजर्षभ । अत्र सौगन्धिकवन नैर्ऋतैरभिरक्ष्यते,द्विजश्रेष्ठड. यहीं मन्दाकिनी नदी और मन्दराचल हैं। इसी दिशामें राक्षसगण सौगन्धिकवनकी रक्षा करते हैं
atra Mandākinī caiva Mandaraś ca dvijarṣabha | atra Saugandhika-vanaṃ nairṛtair abhirakṣyate, dvijaśreṣṭha ||
ここにはマンダーキニー川とマンダラ山がある、婆羅門のうち最勝なる者よ。まさにこの地で、サウガンディカの森はナイリタ（羅刹の類）によって守護されている。

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores discernment and caution in travel: sacred or beautiful places may still be guarded by formidable beings, so one should proceed with awareness of boundaries and protection.
Yuparṇa points out landmarks—Mandākinī and Mount Mandara—and warns/informs that the nearby Saugandhika forest is under the protection of Naiṛtas (rakṣasa guardians), indicating a potentially dangerous or restricted region.
