Kuber Mantra

कुबेर मंत्र

The Kuber mantra "Om Yakshaya Kuberaya Vaishravanaya Dhanadhanyadhipataye" is the best-known prayer to Kuber, treasurer of the gods, asking for wealth and grain. This page also gives the Vedic "Rajadhirajaya" mantra that South Indian temples chant in Mantrapushpam, and the short "Om Kuberaya Namah". Families chant them on Dhanteras and Diwali, usually 108 times on a mala.

Mantra 1

Om Yakshaya Kuberaya Vaishravanaya Dhanadhanyadhipataye

Dhanadhanya Samriddhim Me Dehi Dapaya Svaha

Om. To Kuber, lord of the yakshas, Vaishravana, master of wealth and grain: give me abundance of wealth and grain, and let it reach me. Svaha.

Mantra 2

Rajadhirajaya Prasahya Sahine

Namo Vayam Vaishravanaya Kurmahe

Sa Me Kaman Kamakamaya Mahyam

Kameshvaro Vaishravano Dadatu

Kuberaya Vaishravanaya

Maharajaya Namah

To the king of kings, who overcomes all with ease, to Vaishravana we offer our salutations. May he, Vaishravana, the lord who fulfils wishes, grant my wishes to me, who long for them. To Kuber, Vaishravana, the great king, salutations.

Mantra 3

Om Kuberaya Namah

Om, salutations to Kuber.
