1. Master of animals is a bull-man, a blacksmith, a celestial being, generator of wealth of a nation https://tinyurl.com/y29nwwof
2. Citragupta, accountant, kāyastha 'merchant-guilds' on sculptues signify Indus Script hypertexts, signifiers of wealth-accounting https://tinyurl.com/y3dwju97
Citragupta is a quintessential accountant, a keeper of accounts, wealth-accounting ledgers. This tradition is traceable to R̥gveda and Indus Script Corpora.
-- Bull anthropomorphs, Kubera of navanidhi fame and Citragupta, accountant.
-- Citragupta is born of kāya, 'the body of Brahma' and hence, called kāyasta, 'guild of merchants'. The Citragpta temple in Khajuraho venerates नन्दिन् in anthropomorphic form as a generator of wealth.

पोळ poḷa 'zebu' rebus: poḷa 'magnetite, ferrite ore'.
An early representation of a zebu, on the Rampurva capital of the Pillars of Ashoka, third century BCE. "The scientific name of zebu cattle was originally Bos indicus, but they are now more commonly classified within the species Bos taurus as B. t. indicus, together with taurine cattle (B. t. taurus) and the extinct ancestor of both of them, the aurochs (B. t. primigenius). Taurine ("European") cattle are descended from the Eurasian aurochs, while zebu are descended from the Indian aurochs...Zebu cattle are thought to be derived from Indian aurochs, sometimes regarded as a subspecies, B. p. namadicus. Wild Asian aurochs disappeared during the time of the Indus Valley Civilisation from its range in the Indus River basin and other parts of the South Asian region possibly due to interbreeding with domestic zebu and resultant fragmentation of wild populations due to loss of habitat." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebu

17th Century sculpture of a Nandi in Mysore"Nandi (Sanskrit: नन्दि, Tamil: நந்தி, Kannada: ನಂದಿ, Telugu: న౦ది, Odia: ନନ୍ଦି) is the gate-guardian deity of Kailasa, the abode of Lord Shiva. He is usually depicted as a bull, which also serves as the mount to Shiva... Siddhantic texts clearly distinct Nandi from Vṛṣabha. According to them, Devi, Chandesha,
