About this mantra
Salutation to Kubera, guardian of the north and treasurer of the devas, remembered alongside Lakshmi for rightful prosperity.
Meaning
Om, salutations to Kubera, treasurer of the gods. He is their treasurer, not their owner: in this theology wealth is held in trust, guarded at the northern door, released where it serves. The mantra asks for the treasurer's own relationship with money: custody without capture.
