✦ Meaning
The Kubera Ashtottara Shatanamavali is a litany of one hundred and eight sacred names of Kubera, the celestial treasurer and lord of wealth. Each name, prefixed with Om and ending in Namah, praises a facet of his glory — guardian of the north, friend of Shiva, lord of the nine nidhis, and giver of prosperity and fearlessness. It is recited for wealth, financial stability and abundance, especially on Dhanteras, Diwali, Thursdays and Akshaya Tritiya.
Origin & Story
Puranic / Tantric tradition (Ashtottara-shatanama of Kubera) · Traditional (Vedic-Puranic lineage) · Classical
Kubera was a great ascetic, grandson of Pulastya and son of Vishravana, who through long austerities to Lord Brahma earned the guardianship of all divine wealth, lordship over the Yakshas and Guhyakas, the rule of the golden city Alaka, the flying Pushpaka Vimana, and the post of regent of the northern direction. A close friend and devotee of Shiva, he dwells near Kailasa. His one hundred and eight names gather these epithets — Dhanada, Nidhisha, Yakshesha, Alakadhipati and the rest — into a single garland of praise used in his worship for prosperity.
✦ As told in scripture
Tradition relates that Kubera's treasury is inexhaustible: however much he gives away, the nine nidhis replenish it. Devotees who recite his hundred and eight names with steady faith, especially on Dhanteras, are said to find blocked finances suddenly flowing again, as the lord of the north opens his ever-full storehouse to the sincere.
