Gālava’s Eastern Ascent with Garuḍa; Counsel on Kāla and Upāya (उद्योगपर्व, अध्याय ११०)
अत्र राक्षसयक्षाणां गन्धर्वाणां च गालव
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.
காலவா! இவ்விடத்திலேயே, கைலாச மலைமேல், ராக்ஷசர், யக்ஷர், கந்தர்வர் மீது ஆட்சி செலுத்தத் தக்கவாறு செல்வதாதா குபேரன் அபிஷேகமடைந்தான். மேலும் வடதிசையிலேயே இனிய சைத்ரரத வனமும், வைகானஸ முனிவர்களின் ஆசிரமமும் உள்ளன.

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.
