Iconography of Yellow Jambhala

Jambhala is widely revered as the most powerful and influential deity of wealth. He is an embodiment of Buddha Ratnasambhava and is thought to have the ability to eradicate poverty in all six realms, as well as increase life span, wisdom, and virtue..

HVaisravana is believed to be a manifestation of one of the “Four Great World-protecting Heavenly Kings”. He is venerated as the guardian of light in Buddhism, and is known for his generosity and protective power. He is said to reside in the northern region of the Four Heavens, at the fourth level of Mount Sumeru in a crystal palace. Yellow Jambhala is said to be a very wise being due to his long-term guarding of the Buddhas, which has allowed him to learn many teachings. He is depicted with a yellow body, sitting in the vajra position with his right leg extended and his left leg bent. He has one face and two arms, with his left hand holding a mongoose named Nehulay that spews out precious jewels, and his right hand holding a gem-shaped fruit and a lotus leaf.

An ordinary image of Lord Vaisravana is one that holds a precious pagoda on the left, which pours out various treasures. In Tibetan Tantric images, the precious pagoda is replaced by the treasure-emitting mongoose. Yellow Jambhala sits on a lotus, sun disk, and moon disk.

Mantra of Yellow Jambhala
