Cetiyā.—A *yakkhinī* who lived in the Dhūmarakkha mountain near Tumbariyaṅgana. Paṇḍukābhaya, 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.¹ The Mahāvamsa-Ṭīkā² says she was the wife of the Yakkha Jutindhara, who fell in the battle of Sirīsavatthu.
