Lokapālas
From Theosopedia
In Hinduism, they are the eight deities who are considered as “guardians of the world” governing the eight points of the compass: 1. Indra, east; 2. Agni, southeast; 3. Yama, south; 4. S™rya, southwest; 5. VaruŠa, west; 6. V€yu, northwest; 7. Kubera, north; and 8. Soma, northeast.
Theosophical literature equates these lokap€las with the LIPIKAS or Mah€r€jas, the recorders of karmic deeds.
