(अस्), m.,
N. of certain mythical beings or demigods who,
like the Guhyakas, are attendants on Kuvera, the

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. जक्ष्, 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.)

पुराणम्
English
यक्ष / YAKṢA .1) General. A class of semi-gods. There are chiefly three classes of inhabitants in Heaven:--devas, Gaṇadevas and Upadevas. Gaṇadevas consist of the 12 Ādityas, 10 viśvadevas, 8 Vasus, 36 tuṣitas, 64 Ābhāsvaras, 49 Anilas 220 Mahārājikas, 12 Sādhyas and 11 Rudras.
Among the Upadevas there are 10 subdivisions. They are, vidyādharas, apsaras, Yakṣas, Rākṣasas, Gandharvas, kinnaras, Piśācas, Guhyakas, Siddhas and bhūtas. 2) Origin. There are different views relating to the origin of the Yakṣas. In mahābhārata, Ādi Parva, Chapter l we find that the Yakṣas took birth after Brahmā's birth from “Virāṭ Puruṣa's” aṇḍa. According to a statement in agni purāṇa, Chapter 19, Yakṣas and Rākṣasas were born from Munī, the grand daughter of Kaśyapaprajāpati. Thus Yakṣas and Rākṣasas are related as brothers. In mahābhārata, Ādi Parva, Chapter 66, Verse 7, there is another passage which says that Yakṣas are the progeny of the sage pulastya.3) Other details.
i) Once Śukadeva sang the story of mahābhārata to the Yakṣas. (M.B. Ādi Parva, Chapter 1, Verse 108).(ii) Lakhs of Yakṣas remain in Kubera's assembly, worshipping him. (M.B. Sabhā Parva, Chapter 10, Verse 18).(iii) There are Yakṣas in Brahmā's assembly also. (M.B. Sabhā Parva, Chapter 11, Verse 56).(iv) kubera is the King of Yakṣas. (M.B. Vana Parva, Chapter 111, Verse 10).(v) Bhīmasena once drove away Yakṣas and Rākṣasas. (M.B. Vana Parva, Chapter 16, Verse 57).(vi) On another occasion, sunda and Upasunda defeated and persecuted the Yakṣas. (M.B. Vana Parva, Chapter 208, verse 7).
Vedic Reference
English
Yakṣa is found several times in the Rigveda^1 and the Athar-
vaveda^2 in passages in which Ludwig^3 sees the meaning of a
feast or holy practice in accordance with the native com-
mentators. It is, however, very doubtful whether this sense
ever occurs.^4
