Cetiyā
PersonEine Yakkhinī des Berges Dhūmarakkha, die Paṇḍukābhaya nach einer langen Verfolgungsjagd fing, bei der sie die Gestalt einer Stute annahm, und die er dann in die Schlacht ritt, wo sie ihm half.
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.
