Part 14: Padmaprabha’s messenger-deities (śāsanadevatās)

Originating in that congregation, Kusuma, dark-bodied, with a deer for a vehicle, holding a fruit in one right hand and the other in abhaya-position, carrying an ichneumon and a rosary in his left hands, always near, became the Lord’s messenger-deity. Acyutā, likewise originated, darkbodied, with a man for a vehicle, one right hand holding a noose, and one in varada-position, one left hand carrying a bow, and one in abhaya-position, became a messenger-deity of the Jinendra Padmaprabha.

With these two always near, the Master of the World wandered in villages, mines, cities, etc. with a desire to benefit all.
