✦ 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.

It is a sacred list of 108 (ashtottara-shatam) names of Lord Kubera, the god of wealth and treasurer of the gods. Each name highlights a quality, title or deed of Kubera and is chanted with 'Om' before and 'Namah' after, as an offering of devotion.

It is traditionally chanted to attract wealth, prosperity and financial stability, to clear debts and obstacles in earning, and to invite lasting abundance into the home and business. It also cultivates the dharmic, generous attitude toward wealth that Kubera represents.

Dhanteras and Diwali are the most auspicious days, along with Akshaya Tritiya and Thursdays. Facing north (Kubera's direction) while reciting enhances the effect, and a 40-day daily practice is often undertaken for a specific financial goal.

Kubera is the elder half-brother of Ravana; both were grandsons of Sage Pulastya through Sage Vishravana. While Ravana pursued conquest, Kubera became the righteous keeper of the gods' wealth, ruling the golden city of Alaka near Mount Kailasa.
