Dhṛtarāṣṭra is the guardian of the eastern direction. He lives on the eastern part of Sumeru. He is leader of the gandharvas and piśācas. 

Dhṛtarāṣṭra is considered to be a god of music. Most East Asian depictions of Dhṛtarāṣṭra holds a pipa lute in his hands, indicating his desire to use music to convert sentient beings to Buddhism. He is also regarded as one of the Twenty Devas (二十諸天 Èrshí Zhūtiān) or the Twenty-Four Devas (二十四諸天 Èrshísì zhūtiān), a group of Buddhist dharmapalas who manifest to protect the Dharma.In Chinese temples, he is often enshrined within the Hall of the Heavenly Kings (天王殿) with the other three Heavenly Kings. His name Chíguó Tiān (持國天 lit. "King who holds a country") is a reference to the belief that he can help support a country against enemies.
