In the "Vishnudharmottara Purana", Kubera is described as the embodiment of both "Artha" ("wealth, prosperity, glory") and "Arthashastra"s, the treatises related to it—and his iconography mirrors it. Kubera's complexion is described as that of lotus leaves. He rides a man—the state personified, adorned in golden clothes and ornaments, symbolizing his wealth. His left eye is yellow. He wears an armour and a necklace down to his large belly. The "Vishnudharmottara Purana" further describes his face to be inclined to the left, sporting a beard and mustache, and with two small tusks protruding from the ends of his mouth, representing his powers to punish and to bestow favours. His wife Riddhi, representing the journey of life, is seated on his left lap, with her left hand on the back of Kubera and the right holding a "ratna-patra" (jewel-pot). Kubera should be four-armed, holding a "gada" (mace: symbol of "dandaniti"—administration of justice) and a "shakti" (power) in his left pair, and standards bearing a lion—representing "Artha" and a "shibika" (a club, the weapon of Kubera). The "nidhi" treasures Padma and Shankha stand beside him in human form, with their heads emerging from a lotus and a conch respectively.
