Mahabharata Aswamedha Parva, Mahabharata/Book 14 Chapter 8 mentions about a peak named Munjaban on the summits of the Himalaya mountains, where the adorable Lord of Uma (Mahadeva) is constantly engaged in austere devotional exercises. On all sides of that mountain, there exist mines of gold, resplendent as the rays of the sun. And O king, the attendants of Kuvera, desirous of doing good to him, protect these mines of gold from intruders, with uplifted arms. Hie thee thither, and appease that adorable god who is known by the names which include Karala as under in shloka 13:
- कपर्दिने करालाय हर्यक्ष्णे वरदाय च
- तर्यक्ष्णे पूष्णॊ दन्तभिदे वामनाय शिवाय च (Mahabharata:XIV.8.13)
