Cetiyā
PersonUne yakkhinī du mont Dhūmarakkha que Paṇḍukābhaya captura après une longue poursuite au cours de laquelle elle prit la forme d’une jument, puis chevaucha au combat où elle l’aida.
A yakkhinī who lived in the Dhūmarakkha mountain near Tumbariyaṅgana.
Paṇḍukābhaya, hearing of her, tried to capture her, but succeeded only after a very long and strenuous chase, in which she assumed the form of a mare. He rode her into battle, where she helped him in various ways (Mhv.x.53 ff). The Mahāvaṃsa-Ṭīkā, Vamsatthappakāsinī, (p.289) says she was the wife of the yakkha Jutindhara, who fell in the battle of Sirīsavatthu.
