In his right hand and at the base of his right foot are found the ancient medicinal bijapuraka fruits which are used for the treatment of fever. They are also known as citron fruit.

Nepali Yellow Jambhala Sculpture Features

Our Nepali Yellow Jambhala sculpture is the worldly embodiment of the venerable Dhyani Buddha, Ratnasambhava. Jambhala is also known as the Hindu deity Kubera who seeks the eradication of poverty through equitable distribution of wealth.

Additionally, Jambhala will prolong life, enhance wisdom and spread virtue throughout the 6 realms of samsara. However, the main objective of Jambhala is to reduce poverty to a manageable level. As a result, devotees can better receive Buddhist teachings.

A Jambhala statue is also considered the emanation of a Dharmapala. This is because he once offered protection to Shakyamuni Buddha as he was under the temptation of Mara. Therefore, the Buddha encouraged him to become a Dharma protector and serve sentient beings. Devotees are encouraged to recite his mantra to summon his assistance.
