Dzambhala

Dzambhala is the Tibetan name for the Hindu God Kubera.
Kubera (Sanskrit: कुबेर) (also Kuvera or Kuber) is the king of the Yakshas and the lord of wealth in Hindu mythology. He is also known as Dhanapati, the lord of riches. He is one of the Guardians of the directions , representing the Uttara-disha, meaning north of 4 directions in Sanskrit.

Tibetan Buddhists consider Dzambhala's sentiment regarding wealth to be providing freedom by way of bestowing prosperity, so that one may focus on the path or spirituality rather than on the materiality and temporality of that wealth.
AZAM is a Persian name meaning "Greatest"
