Daikokuten eventually began to be depicted as the Dharma guardian who defeats Hinduism and ensures the victory of Buddhism by crushing Shiva and his wife Parvati (or Negasha, in some versions) underfoot--despite the ironic fact that Daikokuten originally evolved from Shiva.
（シヴァに由来しながらも）シヴァとその妻パールヴァティー、もしくはガネーシャを踏みつけてヒンドゥー教を降伏させて仏教を勝利させる護法尊としての姿が主流となった。
