Indaka
Personラージャガハ近郊のインダクータに住む夜叉で、かつて霊魂がいかにして物質的な形を得るのかをブッダに尋ね、霊魂に頼らぬ胎児の成長についての説明を答えとして受けた
A yakkha who lived in Indakūṭa, near Rājagaha. When the Buddha was staying at Indakūṭa, the yakkha questioned him as to how the soul finds its material counterpart. The Buddha, in reply, described how the embryo evolved into its final shape by the laws of physical growth and not by a soul’s fiat (S.i.206).
Buddhaghosa says (SA.i.231) that the yakkha was an animist (puggalavādin).
