The Rakshas does not indicate any definite tribe; according to the authors of the *Vedic Index* it normally refers to demons in early Vedic literature, and is applied to human foes only metaphorically. The Piśāchas also likewise are not a tribe in Vedic literature though in later literature it is the designation of a tribe.
