यक्षाश्चासुरगंधर्वाः सिद्धा विद्याधरास्तथा । रम्भाद्यप्सरसश्चैव प्रह्लादाद्या दितेः सुताः । रक्षा विभीषणाद्याश्च धनदो रक्ष नायकः

یکش، اسور اور گندھرو؛ سدھ اور ودیادھر؛ رَمبھا جیسی اپسرائیں؛ پرہلاد سے آغاز کرنے والے دِتی کے بیٹے؛ وبھیشن جیسے راکشس؛ اور یکشوں کے سردار دھنَد (کبیر)—سب وہاں پائے جاتے ہیں۔
