Indaka

Person

라자가하 근처 인다쿠타에 사는 야차로, 한때 영혼이 어떻게 물질적 형태를 얻는지 붓다에게 물었고, 영혼을 거론하지 않는 태아 성장에 대한 설명을 답으로 받았다

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).
