**IV. Dikpalas.** Like the majority of Hindu gods imported into the Jain pantheon, the Dikpālas were a direct over-taking. They are also called lokapālas and are also worshipped as Vāstu-devatās. Brindavana says that one Śvetāmbara text makes them functioning as Kumāras, who differ very little in nature from the gods of quarters.
