In Indic mythology, Manimekhala ((クメール語:មណីមេខលា), ''Moni Mekhala''; (タイ語:มณีเมขลา), ''Mani Mekkhala'') is a goddess regarded as a guardian of the seas; namely the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea as part of the mythology of Indochina. She was placed by Catummaharajika to protect virtuous beings from shipwreck.〔G.P. Malalasekera. Dictionary of Pali Proper Names: Pali-English. Asian Educational Services, 2003〕 She appears in several Buddhist stories including the Mahajanaka-Jataka in which she rescues Prince Mahajanaka from a shipwreck.〔Anne Elizabeth Monius.
