108 Names of Lord Kubera — Ashtottara Shatanamavali with Meanings

Introduction: Invoking the Divine Treasurer of Wealth

Lord Kubera (also spelled Kuber or Kuvera) is the Hindu God of Wealth, Treasures, and Prosperity. He serves as the treasurer of the gods (Dhanadhipati) and the king of the Yakshas — semi-divine beings who guard hidden riches. Kubera is the guardian of the North direction and is closely associated with Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Shiva. He is revered especially during Diwali, Dhanteras, Chopda Puja, and Kuber Puja rituals.

Chanting the Ashtottara Shatanamavali (108 sacred names) of Lord Kubera with devotion is believed to attract financial stability, remove debts, protect hidden wealth, grant success in business, and ensure ethical prosperity. The number 108 symbolizes completeness and is ideal for japa using a mala.
