Virūpākṣa is the guardian of the western direction. He lives on the western part of Sumeru. He is leader of the nāgas and pūtanas.

He possesses the divine eye (Skt. divyena cakṣuṣā), which allows him to see great distances as well as the karma of sentient beings.

In the Pāli Canon of Theravāda Buddhism, Virūpākṣa is called Virūpakkha. Virūpakkha is one of the Cātummahārājāno, or "Four Great Kings," each of whom rules over a specific direction.

He has a daughter named Kālakannī.

Virupakkha is weird in the sense that she is a Magical Girl, but not aligned to any side; she was created as a last ditch effort from Fafnir to help mankind live on their hope without the help of higher beings. She watches over everyone and assists Puri whenever she can; she however is only able to speak in vague, riddle-like speech.
