Jambhala is a protector of the Buddhist faith. In this particular form, where the deity depicted holding a gem-spewing mongoose, and venerated as a god of wealth. However, what is bestowed is not material wealth, but rather freedom from poverty, so that one may focus on the path of spirituality rather than on the struggle for subsistence.
