Yakṣa, am, n. (the neut. form is found only in Ved.), a living supernatural being (or a being deserv- ing of worship, cf. rt. 1. yaj), an unsubstantial or spiritual apparition, a ghost, spirit; (according to Sāy.) worship, adoration (= pūjā); sacrifice (= yajña); anything honoured or revered; (as), m., N. of certain mythical beings or demigods who, like the Guhyakas, are attendants on Kuvera, the god of wealth, and employed in the care of his garden and treasures, (they are variously described as sons of Pulastya, of Pulaha, of Krodhā, of Kaś- yapa; or in Hari-vaṃśa 11794. as sprung from the feet of Brahmā; according to the Vāyu-Purāṇa they were descended from Khasā or Khaśā, who had two sons, Yakṣa and Rakṣas, severally the progenitors of the Yakṣas and Rākṣasas; the Viṣṇu-Purāṇa 1. 5. narrates that they were produced by Brahmā as beings emaciate with hunger, of hideous aspect, and with long beards, and that crying out ‘let us eat,’ they were denominated Yakṣas, [fr. jakṣ, to eat]; in the Brahma-Purāṇa thirteen Yakṣas are appointed by Viṣṇu as guardians of a particular city; though generally regarded as beings of a benevolent and inoffensive disposition, like the Yakṣa described in Kālidāsa's Megha-dūta, they are nevertheless occa- sionally classed with Piśācas and other malignant spirits; the Buddhists give them a prominent posi- tion, describing them in some of their legends as cruel demons who feast on human flesh and have the power of raising storms; in others, as harmless beings who delight in songs, dances, &c.); a sub- division of a Vyantara (with Jainas); N. of Kuvera; of a Muni; of the palace of Indra; (ī), f. a female Yakṣa; N. of Kuvera's wife; (as, ā, am), a Vedic word said to be formed fr. the Aor. of rt. 1. yaj, and used at the end of a comp.
