They have the essence of generosity and represent the activities of increasing benefit. Their aspiratins are to help the poor and those suffering from ill-fortune

It says in a text:-

“E ma! The Profound of Profound Ultimate-
The method of bringing poverty to richness and wealth!
For places whose fortune has become weakened
Newly erecting houses, representations, viharas, and so on,
Will bring wealth wherever they are built and
There will be auspiciousness, goodness, delight and happiness.
The generation of merit is the Jambhala puja;
The increase of individual goods is the wealth puja;
The generation of body strength is the strength puja;
The generation of life-force is the glory puja;
Their qualities could not be partially expressed
Even by one thousand tongus during one hundred kalpas……..”
