Four Cardinal Kings
The Four Cardinal Kings reside in the four palaces in the four directions of Mount Meru. Among them Yulkhor Sung white in colour resides in the east with playing a guitar, because he rules over the realm that lives on melodious music. Phah-Skespo blue in colour resides in the south with a sword drawn out that presents him as a defender of the faith. Chanme-Zang red in colour resides in the west carrying a stupa in his right hand and holding a snake in his left hand. Nathos-Ses yellow in colour resides in the north with a mongoose in his left hand which keeps pouring gems out of its mouth and with a victory banner in his right hand causing showers of wealth to fall by his merely shaking of it. It is said that earlier they generated their altruistic minds and performed religious services for the Buddhas and determined to reside in the four direction of Mount Meru for the sake of the preserving as well as protecting the Buddha dharma by taking the form of world protectors.
