Seeing therefore the Oggaliaphim, the Azraella was greatly pleased; and reaching again into his soul, he fashioned still another oracle and this did he cast into the silver stream which moved most deep and subtly within the golden flood.

And there came forth out of the stream, the very Koshendai which would guard the gates of all twenty-four dimensions; to hold in their hands the keys of Zimagayah; proving themselves through kind devotions the guardians of the great Eternal Round.

See: Azraella, Zimagayah

Summary: The Koshendai are devoted creations of the Azraella, brought forth to protect the twenty-four dimensions of the great Eternal Round, referred to as the Zimagayah (5:12:70-71). Not only do the Koshendai serve as guardians of the Zimagayah, they have the power to manipulate various aspects of all twenty-four dimensions.

During the Second War against the Demiurgos, the Koshendai — under command of the Azraella — constricted the folds of the dimensions so as to channel the armies of Light and Darkness into the Rift of Korisedrah (6:11:2). The Koshendai also played a crucial part in the construction of the great vortex, binding together opposing fields of great dimensions to connect the cosmos of the Surinatha to the cosmos of the First Creation (6:12:2).

Notes/References:

And passing near the portals of Alu-Shali, the Koshendai did take cue, and with great subtlety did they begin to constrict the folds of the great dimensions, to channel both the Azraella and the Demiurge into the gateway of the Rift, causing that the vast armies of Yaldabaoth should prove themselves constricted upon all their many flanks, to hinder them in the use of all their mighty numbers.

Now at Soli-Endi-Muhat did the Koshendai break asunder the binding seals of Wabbisura, permitting that they should bind together opposing fields of great dimensions to create a vast, invisible vortex which did connect together the cosmos of the Heavens with the cosmos of the First Creation.
