The Visnudharmottara describes that the colour of
the body of Kuvera is like the colour of a lotus leaf. His
V盲hana is a man and there is a necklace resting on the belly
of the V盲hana. He wears a beautiful dress and destroys the
enemies, His left hand should hold a jewelled vessel and in
the right hands there should be a mace and a spear.
He plays an important role in exorcising Shaka who
converted and raised him to the priesthood and he thus became
one of the important kings of the Yak峁�as. As the god of
riches his epithet is dhanada. He is depicted as having blue
face. He is dressed in armour and carrying a pagoda in the
left hand. Sometime he is accompanied by kichij艒盲ten or
Laksmil or Mah膩艣r墨.
He is identical with Vai艣ravans, the Mah膩r膩jah of the
west. He is one of the Shi-Tenno or four guardian kings. As
a legend says, the life of Sh艒toku-Taishi was saved in the
battle field by the grace of this god. Prince Sh艒tokus strong
belief in the guardian gods is understood from the story
narrated in the 'Nihongi' that the Prince (when he was known
by the name of Umayado) made wooden images of the four kings
name Dh峁泃arastra (Toho-ten), Vir奴岣峢aka (Nampo-ten), Vir奴pak峁�a
(Saiho-ten) and Kubera-Vai艣rava峁嘺 (Hoppo-ten) and tied them
in his hair obviously with the hope of receiving the blessings
and favour from the these group of gods.
