The drum of the eight elements, rhythm turned to abundance.

Dhanishta belongs to the eight Vasus, elemental gods of earth, fire, wind, and sky, and it moves to their music. It is rhythmic, ambitious, and generous, gifted in performance, timing, and the gathering of wealth to share. Hollow like the drum, it resounds best when emptied of ego.
