Manmatha Nath Dutt translation
The word in the text is Nidhipati a name of Kuvera. Nidhi means divine treasures nine of which are enumerated, viz., the Padma, Mahapadma, Sankha, Makara, Kachchpa, Mukunda, Nanda, Nila and Kharba: their nature is not exactly defined though some of them appear to be precious jems; according to the Tankrik system, they are personified and worshipped as demigods attendant either upon Kuvera or upon Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity.
