Chitra-gupta- the Scribe of the Lord of Death
Chitra-gupta- the Scribe of the Lord of Death
BrahmÄ having completed his work, meditated upon the Supreme Immensity. Suddenly, while he sat in meditation, a man of divine appearance sprang forth from his body.
This man held in his hand an account book and a pen. He came to be known as Manifold-Secret (Citra-gupta). Dwelling near the king-of-justice (Yama), he was instructed to write down an account of the good and bad deeds of all living beings.
He is the patron deity of all scribes, accountants and others involved in secretarial work.
