Abstract
Mongolia has a long and rich history with Buddhism, spanning a period of 2000 years from the early century to the present day.
Although Mongolians wrote Buddhist deities by Mongolian names in manuscripts and sutras, in daily lives and practices they were commonly referred to by their Sanskrit and Tibetan names.
Mongolian names of Buddhist deities can often be seen in literary translated works, but aren't commonly used in oral language.
Namsrai /in Mongolian pronunciation/ is best known to Mongolians as ''Wealthy Namsrai'' as the deity that brings wealth and riches. The Sanskrit name for Namsrai is ''Vaisravana'', the Tibetan name is ''rNamsras'' /in written language/, the derivative of the proper written name ''rNam thos sras'', The Mongolian name for the deity ''Ariun sonsgoltiin hovguun- The son of hearing purely'' or ''Tiin sonsgoltiin hovuun, Saitar sonsgoltiin hovguun- The son of hearing distinctly''. Also the Chinese name for Namsrai is ''Bisman tenger- Pi Sha Men Tian Wang''.
All of these names apart from the Mongolian name of the deity are widely used in Buddhist literature, research and Buddhist communities.
In addition, Namsrai has 25 different allegorical names.
