Yaksa Manibhadra
Devamitra related the story of Saktimati and her Husband. There was the shrine of a powerful Yaksa Manibhadra, established by our ancestors. Manibhadra is an avatar of Shiva which he called when he was angry and summoned for warfare. Manibhadra decimated the army of Jalandhara along with Virabhadra, another avatar of Shiva. In the Mahabharata, Manibhadra is mentioned along with Kubera as chief of the Yakshas. Arjuna had worshipped him. In the Ramayana, Manibhadra is mentioned as fighting Ravana when he had attacked Vaishravana at Mount Kailas.
