He is said to be a powerful and influential being, who is often depicted as a protector of the Buddhist teachings and practitioners. Also known as Lord of the Saha World (Sanskrit “Saha Loka Deva”), our world of enduring suffering, one of the realms of existence in Buddhist cosmology. He is believed to play an important role in the spiritual development of the beings in this realm and is often depicted as a guide and mentor for them.
