CetiyÄ


A Yakkhinī who lived in the Dhūmarakkha mountain near Tumbariyaṅgana.

Paṇá¸ukÄbhaya, 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.53ff). The MahÄvaṃsa-ṬīkÄ (p.289) says she was the wife of the Yakkha Jutindhara, who fell in the battle of SirÄ«savatthu.
