In the serene location of Temal Kavre, Guru Rinpoche flew from Pharping Asura Cave to abolish the effect of Lord Yakshya, who penetrated everyone's life. It was a tough time for the local people, so He flew there and destroyed them being seated in the Vajra Mudra, with the Kila-dagger (help of Vajrakilaya). He removed the obstacles of the surroundings and created a pond for the local people. Yarinak cave is thus a widely renowned Buddhist pilgrimage destination.
