Hemen described in religious books by the strong and courage which support himself in the protection of the deceased in his lower journey. And by other side, Hemen also considered a god of welfare when he send his tears to overflow lands to refresh its fertility, The same could to be observed in the role of Hemen when he exchange the guilt of deceased by virtues and good doings.
