KU'VERA, in Hindoo mythology, is the regent of 
wealth, correfponding with the Plutus of the weftern pan¬ 
theon. He is defcribed, in refpeft of externals, as a mere 
man, gloomy, felfifh, and deformed ; but as a magnificent 
diety, refiding in the fple^ndid city Alaka, and borne 
through the fky in a gorgeous car, called pvjhpaka , or flow¬ 
ery. He is alio called Viteffa, Paulaftya, and Dhar.ada ; 
and, as the fon of a fage named Vifrava, he is called Vif- 
ravana, a name likewile of Ravena, half-brother, by the 
fame father, of Kuvera. His fervants and companions are 
the Yakfhas and Guhyakas, into whofe filthy forms tranf- 
jnigrate the fouls of thofe men who in this life are addict¬ 
ed to fordid and bale paflions, or abforbed in worldly 
profperity. The Hindoos have afligned regents to each

KUYP, or Cuyp (Albert), a painter who ranks among 
the beft and mod original artifts. He was born at Dort 
in 1606, and was the Ion of Jacob-Gerritz Kuyp, a land- 
fcape-painter of much merit. From his father he firft 
learnt the rudiments of the art; but furpaffed him infinitely 
in his progrefs. He was one of the moll agreeable paint¬ 
ers; imitating with the greateft perfection the purity and 
brilliancy of light. No artift ever reprefented the atmof- 
phere which furrounds all objeCts more completely than 
Cuyp; and, in the effect of fun-fhine, none ever approached 
him. The fimplelt fcenes and combinations of objects 
were fufficient for him to exert his talents upon ; and he 
never failed to give an intereft to them by the fweetnefs 
of his colour, and the beauty of his light and fhade. Lit¬ 
tle or nothing is known of his life. His works are nu¬ 
merous, and therefore he mull have lived long; for they 
are of fo highly-finifhed a quality, that he mult have given 
much time to them. In the various collections among 
the nobility in England, works of his thine with almolt 
unrivalled luftre; and are not very uncommon. At the 
marquis of Stafford’s is a very fine one of the landing 
of prince Maurice at Dort. There are alio leveral others 
of great merit.

Leopold duke of Auftria mortgaged it to the counts of 
Toggenburg; this mortgage was transferred to the counts 
of Montfort. In the year 1415, when Frederic duke of 
Auftria was put under the ban of the empire, the emperor 
Sigifmund feized on the eftate; and, in 1424, permitted 
the citizens of Zurich to purchafe the rights of the counts 
of Montfort, which they did. Thus Zurich became maf- 
ter of the county, on paying, neverthelefs, to the emperor 
confiderable furns at five different times. In 1442, the 
canton of Zurich reftored it to the emperor Frederic III. 
but, in 1452, purchafed it of duke Sigifmund for ever.
