In a general sense, it expresses a blissful state of existence of a human soul.

Amaymon is a prince of Hell, and, according to some grimoires, the only one who has power over Asmoday. He is usually named in grimoires alongside Oriens, Egyn, and Paimon as kings of the cardinal directions. He variously described as the king of the north, east, or south. According to Clavis Inferni, he is king of the north.

A curious characteristic of this spirit in almost all copies of the Ars Goetia in English, that during the evocation of Asmoday to visible appearance, the exorcist must stand upright with his cap or headdress removed in a show of respect, because if he does not do so, then Amaymon will deceive him and doom all of his work.
