"The palace of yakshas and yakshinis."
Finally looked up these words since the book has mentioned them. Here is a visual for you all:
Yaksha (Sanskrit यक्ष yakṣa, Odia-ଯକ୍ଷ, Pali yakkha)[1] is the name of a broad class of nature-spirits, usually benevolent, who are caretakers of the natural treasures hidden in the earth and tree roots.[2] They appear in Hindu, Jain and Buddhist texts.[2] The feminine form of the word is yakṣī[3] or Yakshini (yakṣiṇī).[4]
