INTRODUCTION
Maniman was a Yaksha, and he was a close friend of Lord Kubera and resides at the Yaksha Loka. He was a friend of Lord Kubera from his childhood, and he maintained a close bondage with him. He was mentioned in divine texts, and his importance and knowledge was also mentioned. He got married and had children. Once playfully he disturbed the penance of a sage, and he was cursed to become a cobra, and after his request, the sage slightly changed his curse, and due to that, during the exile period of the Pandavas, he was killed by Bhima, and got relieved from the curse, and went back to the Yaksha Loka.
He got the powers to visit various worlds and can directly worship the gods and goddesses. According to legend, he used to go along with Kubera to Mount Kailash to visit Shiva Parvati, and would get their blessings. He was talented in all kinds of arts, and used to play Veena and Yazh in a pleasing manner, similar to the Gandharvas, and would praise Lord Kubera and Lord Indra by singing melodious songs on them.
It is believed that he still lives in the Yaksha Loka along with Lord Kubera and leading a happy life.
Let us worship the divine person and be blessed.
