द्रोणेन दुर्योधनस्य कवचबन्धनम् — Drona’s Mantra-Bound Armor for Duryodhana
अन्तर्धान॑ चामपात्रे दुग्धा पुण्यजनैर्विराट् । दोग्धा वैश्रवणस्तेषां वत्सश्चवासीद् वृषध्वज:,यक्षोंने कच्चे बर्तनमें पृथ्वीसे अन्तर्धान विद्याका दोहन किया। उनके दोग्धा कुबेर और बछड़ा महादेवजी थे
antardhānaṃ cāmapātre dugdhā puṇyajanair virāṭ | dogdhā vaiśravaṇas teṣāṃ vatsaś cāvāsīd vṛṣadhvajaḥ ||
ਪੁਣ੍ਯਜਨ ਯਕ੍ਸ਼ਾਂ ਨੇ ਕੱਚੇ ਭਾਂਡੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਧਰਤੀ ਤੋਂ ਅੰਤਰਧਾਨ-ਵਿਦਿਆ ਦਾ ਦੋਹਣ ਕੀਤਾ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਦੋਹਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਵੈਸ਼੍ਰਵਣ (ਕੁਬੇਰ) ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਵੱਛੜਾ ਵ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਧ੍ਵਜ (ਸ਼ਿਵ) ਸੀ।

Extraordinary powers are portrayed as arising within a regulated cosmic framework: they are ‘drawn out’ through proper agency and hierarchy (Kubera as controller, Śiva as enabling ‘calf’), suggesting that power without order and rightful authority is incomplete or illegitimate.
Nārada describes a mythic episode: the Puṇyajanas/Yakṣas obtain the power called Antardhāna (invisibility/disappearance) by ‘milking’ it from the Earth into an earthen pot, with Kubera acting as the milker and Śiva functioning as the calf that makes the Earth yield this essence.
