Ps. I found some info on Bayu.
Looks like there are 9 Bayu brothers with long thumb nails.

Quote:
They were 9 figures, called the ‘Bayu brothers’. The ‘Poleng" design depicting the essentials of human lust, the exercise and ability to restrain lust is a basic attitude to achieve a good and correct life. All the Bayu’s brother (Tunggal Bayu) had Kuku Pancanaka – strong and longer thumb-nails, if necessary, to execute bad people.
This reminds me of Bima, the Pandawa brother who also is in urgent need of a manicure.
I think I will have to do some more googling on Ramyana and Mahabarata to get a grip on these different gods
