-Namtoshe or Vaishravana, the Lord of Wealth, is the Buddhist counterpart of Kubera, the Brahmanical god of wealth and like him, he presides over the domain of riches. As a Lokapala or Guardian King, Vaishravana looks after the Northern region and Mount Sumeru, the center of the universe. His abode is Alaska in the Himalayas, abounding in wealth and magnificence, where he is attended upon by yakshas and kinnaras. Vaishravana is also the king of yakshas.
. He has two main aspects that of a warrior protector and that of a deity of wealth. Here he has been shown as the deity of wealth. In southern Buddhism, particularly in the Indian sub-continent, he is known as Jambhala, because he also carries a Jambhara (lemon) in one of his hands.
