Cetiyā
Personドゥーマラッカ山の夜叉女で、牝馬の姿をとって長い追跡の末にパンドゥカーバヤに捕らえられ、その後戦いに乗り込み彼を助けた人物。
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.
