Gopalakrishnan. Gangoli nahi Ganguly ; aur Ganguli did not write Vyasa
Bharatham; he translated that from Pune archeological and ancient
scriptures inst accepted by the world except Gopalakrishnan as authority;
so many would have written Mahabharatha and and treatises over them
including you and me; but world will have an yardstick; and world will say
vyasa is authority and Ganguli one of the few authorities and all
authorities can only render what Vyasa said. And if your clay head cannot

GOPALAKRISHNA WROTE IN VISRAVAS-2
The Fateful Timing: Kaikesi approached the sage while he was performing a
powerful fire ritual (yajna) during an inauspicious, fierce twilight
hour. Vishravas
saw through her intentions but agreed to her request.
However, because of the dark hour, he warned her that their children would
be born with ruthless, monstrous dispositions. Following her desperate
pleas for mercy, he blessed her that *their youngest child would be
righteous*.
The Result: Sumali’s calculated plan worked perfectly. *Kaikesi gave birth
to Ravana, Kumbhakarna, and Surpanakha,* as well as the virtuous Vibhishana.

Markandeya said, "The Muni named Visrava, who was begotten of half the soul
of Pulastya, in a fit of passion, began to look upon Vaisravana with great
anger. But, O monarch, Kuvera, the king of the Rakshasas, knowing that his
father was angry with him, always sought to please him. And, O best of
Bharata's
race, that king of kings living in Lanka, and borne upon the shoulders of
men, sent three Rakshasa women to wait upon his father. Their names, O
king, were Pushpotkata, Raka and Malini. And they were skilled in singing
and dancing and were always assiduous in their attentions on that
high-souled Rishi. And those slender-waisted ladies vied with one another,
O king, in gratifying the Rishi. And that high-souled and adorable being
was pleased with them and granted them boons. And to every one of them he
gave princely sons according to their desire. Two sons--those foremost of
Rakshasas named Kumvakarna and the Ten-headed Ravana,--both unequalled on
earth in prowess, were born to Pushpotkata. And Malini had a son named
Vibhishana, and Raka had twin children named Khara and Surpanakha. And
Vibhishana surpassed them all in beauty

>
> *Why Kubera has fewer teeth –*

> benevolent, wealthy Deva.
>
> His distinct dental and physical appearance is rooted in specific
> mythological and symbolic reasons:
>
> 1. The Dual Asura-Brahmin Lineage
>
> *In early Vedic texts, Kubera was actually designated as the chief of evil
> spirits, thieves, and Rakshasas before he gained godhood through severe
> penance (tapasya).*
>
> The Demonic Manifestation: To visually represent this darker, "monstrous"
> heritage, the Puranas describe his facial features with explicit physical
> deformities, specifying a set of only eight snaggle teeth (sometimes
> described as two small protruding tusks).
>
> Symbolism of the Teeth: According to texts like the Vishnudharmottara
> Purana, these limited, protruding teeth/tusks are not a random deformity;
> they symbolise his power to punish wrongdoers and bestow favours on the
> righteous.
>
> *2. The Curse of Goddess Parvati*
>
> Another deeply entrenched mythological reason for his overall physical
> asymmetry stems from an incident with Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati:
>
> The Gaze: When Kubera went to Kailash to visit Lord Shiva, *he was
> stunned by the divine, radiant beauty of Goddess Parvati.*
>
> The Consequence: He looked at her with a hint of envy or improper intent
> in one eye. Angered by his look, Parvati cursed him.
>
> The curse instantly burnt one of his eyes out (turning it yellow/grey),
> crippled his body (resulting in three legs), and deformed his jaw and
> facial features.
>
> The Softened Curse: *When Kubera repented, Shiva pacified Parvati*. She
> softened the curse but left the physical traits intact as a reminder,
> renaming him Ekakshipingala (one who has one yellow eye) and acknowledging
> his deformed body as his permanent divine form.
>
> 3. Symbolic Iconography of Wealth
>
> In Hindu and Buddhist iconographies, deities associated with hidden
> under-earth treasures (like Yakshas) are *deliberately depicted as stout,
> dwarfish, and physically irregular. Kubera’s heavy pot-belly, three legs,
> and missing teeth underscore the ancient philosophical concept that outer
> physical beauty does not equal inner spiritual or material wealth*
>
> Hindu texts, combined with the spiritual symbolism of his physical form.
>
> 1. Chronological Evolution in Sacred Texts
>
> The description of Kubera changed drastically as Vedic literature evolved
> into the Puranas:
>
> The Early Vedic Period: In the Atharvaveda and Shatapatha Brahmana, Kubera
> was not originally praised as a radiant celestial deity. He was
> introduced as the chief of evil spirits, spirits of darkness, and the Lord
> of thieves and criminals. Because he ruled over subterranean spirits
> (Yakshas and Guhyakas) who guarded buried dirt and stones, early texts
> associated him with a low, chaotic, or chthonic status.
>
> The Epic & Puranic Period: As centuries passed, his narrative underwent a
> massive elevation.
>
> Through intense penance (tapasya), he won the favour of Lord Brahma and
> was officially elevated to a Lokapala (guardian of the universe) and the
> God of Wealth. The Puranas then solidified his highly respected Brahmin
> parentage to match his new divine status.
>
> *The Nature of the "Yaksha" Species*
>
> Even though his parents were Brahmins, Kubera was crowned the King of the
> Yakshas.
>
> In Hindu cosmology, Yakshas are nature-spirits. They are traditionally
> depicted as earthly, rajasic (passionate/materialistic) beings.
>
> Because they deal directly with heavy, material wealth (gold, gems, and
> metals extracted from the dirty earth), their physical forms are
> iconographically drawn as heavy, stocky, and irregular, contrasting with
> the sharp, luminous, weightless forms of the Devas (like Indra or Surya).
>
> Esoteric and Symbolic Interpretation
>
> From a spiritual and esoteric perspective, Kubera’s physical
> irregularities (eight teeth, a deformed jaw, and three legs) represent the
> heavy, asymmetrical nature of earthly wealth.
>
> Material wealth is inherently unevenly distributed and can cause spiritual
> weight ("pot-belly"). Therefore, his physical description carries remnants
> of his early Vedic identity as a leader of earthly spirits, despite his
> flawless Brahmin family tree.
