Kubera, “Ugly body” also known as “Vaisravan” or “Namthoi-sre” is originally the Hindu god of riches and the treasure of wealth such as gold, silver, and gems, and is also the earth spirits (Yaksha) who guard the treasures hidden in the root of the trees. Specially Zambala stands for Zambhara which means lemon that carries in his right hand. He is rather fat and prosperous looking. He holds a money bag and coins. His crown may contain an image of Ratnasambhava. Like Kubera, he is attended by a mongoose that vomits jewels.
