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.

This is the best-known Kuber mantra, often called the Kuber panchatrimshat (thirty-five syllable) mantra. Mantra books name Vishrava as its rishi and Brihati as its metre. It is a puja and japa mantra from the later tradition, not a Vedic verse.

Namo Vayam Vaishravanaya Kurmaheनमो वयं वैश्रवणाय कुर्महे।

This Vedic mantra is from the Taittiriya Aranyaka (commonly cited as 1.31.6). Temples in the South chant it as part of Mantrapushpam at the end of every puja, so many Telugu and Tamil families know it by ear. Priests chant it with svaras; we show it without accents.
Om Kuberaya Namahॐ कुबेराय नमः॥
Om, salutations to Kuber.
- OmOm, the sacred syllable
- Kuberayato Kuber
- Namahsalutations
The simplest name mantra, and the first of the 108 names of Kuber. Some books say "Om Shri Kuberaya Namah". It suits anyone who wants a short japa with a mala.

Questions
How many times should I chant the Kuber mantra?
108 times, one round of a mala, is the usual count. If time is short, 11 or 21 times with full attention is fine.
Can I chant the Kuber mantra on Dhanteras or on Diwali night after Lakshmi puja?
Yes. Dhanteras evening is the traditional time for Kuber puja, and on Diwali night many families chant it once Lakshmi puja is over, facing north, with a lamp lit. Tradition says Kuber blesses the home where Lakshmi is worshipped first.
Will chanting the Kuber mantra bring money?
Tradition says it brings Kuber's blessing for wealth that stays and is used well. It is a prayer and no guarantee of any money. Families pair it with honest work and charity, which the tradition also asks for.
Which Kuber mantra should I choose?
For japa, the first one, "Om Yakshaya Kuberaya", is the most widely used. If your family follows South Indian temple practice, the Vedic "Rajadhirajaya" is the one you will hear at the end of puja. "Om Kuberaya Namah" is easiest for children and beginners.
Source and review
Source: Mantra 1: drikpanchang.com (Shri Kubera mantra, Hindi), cross-checked with shlokam.org (Kubera Mantra) and shubhpanchang.com (Kubera panchatrimsha mantra). Mantra 2: Taittiriya Aranyaka, as printed in sanskritdocuments.org mantrapushpa.itx (with and without svaras) and "Prabhata Stotranidhi" (stotranidhi.com, Mantrapushpam). Mantra 3: first of the 108 names of Kuber on drikpanchang.com
Mantra 1 is identical word for word in all three sources. Mantra 2 is identical in both sources once svara marks are removed; stotranidhi.com prefixes "ओं", which we leave out as it is not part of the Aranyaka text, and we omit accents. For mantra 3, shubhpanchang.com gives "ॐ श्रीकुबेराय नमः". Several "Kuber Gayatri" and bija forms circulate with differing wording and no source we could confirm, so we have not included them.
