Cittarāja2
Person般度迦婆耶所礼敬的一位夜叉,获赐阿婆耶水库下游的居所,节庆之日更得坐于王侧;《大史》称其为曾救王一命的牧人质多的化身,但更可能即是前一位同名夜叉。
A yakkha whom Paṇḍukābhaya honoured with a settlement below the Abhaya reservoir and a seat beside him on festival days, said in the Mahāvaṃsa to be an incarnation of the herdsman Citta who once saved the king’s life, though probably identical with the yakkha Cittarāja (1).
