Kubera is known primarily as the god of wealth and abundance, but he is also one of the Four Great Kings (maharaja) as well as one of the Eight Guardians (lokapala), and in the latter role is associated with the northerly direction. He is also identified with Vaishravana, Panchika, and Jambhala and has a further role as leader of the yakshas, nature spirits derived from pre-Aryan traditions who were believed to have power over wealth, fertility, and illness.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related sandstone Madhya Pradesh frieze of Kubera holding a bowl and a mongoose, 87.6 cm high, dated to the late 10th century, in the Norton Simon Museum, accession number F.1975.16.03.S. Compare a related sandstone relief depicting Ardhanarishvara from Madhya Pradesh, dated early 11th century, 49.8 cm high, in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, accession number 1994-148-5.
