Vaishravana is the Guardian of the North and the king of the Yakshas, benevolent spirits. He is associated with Kubera and is revered as the god of wealth. He is usually depicted with a mongoose from which jewels and coins are scattered, and often carries the dhvaja banner, which symbolizes the victory of the Buddha over Mara's troops.
