Kubera
Shiva pointed to me and replied, “That Pisacha you see over there was a Yaska who used to be Kubera’s retainer. He had a friend, a Rakshasa named Sthulasiras. Kubera did not like the fact that the Yaksha kept the company of Rakshasas and so he turned him into a Pisacha and banished him to the Vindhya forests. But his brother Dirghajangha fell at Kubera’s feet and begged to know when his brother’s curse would end. Kubera said that when the Pisacha heard the Brihatkatha from Pushpadanta who was also under a curse, and when the Pisacha told that story to Malyavan, he and the two Ganas would be freed from their respective curses. Remember, my dear, you had fixed the same end to the Ganas curses.”..Read Kathasaritsagara....Sivkishen Ji, Author
