Among the four deva-kings, the happiest is well known Vaisravana of the North guardian. It is said that he and the Srimaha-devi are husband and wife (or brother and sister). In ancient India, he is a god to give happiness and guard wealth of Buddhism. And he is also called the deva-king of giving wealth. In the ancient Indian myth, he is a guardian of North as well as a god of great wealth. Therefore, he has the more disciples than the rest three deva-kings.
