Summary

Description
English: Kubera is a yaksha (nature-spirit), the guardian of buried

treasure, as indicated by the pots beneath his throne.

He was adopted into Buddhism as Panchika, representing the wealth of enlightenment.

While (as usual in India's additive culture) all possible meanings really apply at once, in this case the overall symbolism of "prosperity" seems to predominate over any specifically Buddhist

understandings of these figures.
