Nairrati Deva is also one of the eight deities of the directions. Nairrati Deva resides in the south west corner. Nairrati Deva is the lord of the goblins or Rakshasa called Nairrati. Nairrati Deva is blue in color and rides on a corpse. His two hands hold a sword and a Khetaka or Kapala filled with meat. He has a wrathful face with exposed teeth.

In the Durgatiparisodhana Tantra, in the chapter of Mandala of Dikpalas, Nairrati, the great lord of the Rakshasas, said this: “O Lord, with regard to the king, prince Brahmana, warrior or any other person who hold this Tantra, I will not cause diseases, fear of Pretas and Pichas, fear of Rakshas and others or fear of untimely death. I will always provide them with security, protection and cover.”

As usual he is worshipped in the Guru Mandala rite of Nepalese Buddhism, in a group of eight deities of directions.
