Sūta said: On seeing him, his father said “This is Kubera” (ugly-bodied one). The word ‘Ku’ is an epithet used to indicate contempt. The body is called Bera. He was Kubera on account of his deformed body. He was thus marked by this name. Since he was the son of Viśravas and also because he was like Viśravas due to resemblance, he would be known by the name Vaiśravaṇa.
