Ajakalāpaka.—A yakkha who tried to frighten the Buddha, but who, later, became his disciple.¹ When he returned from a certain yakkha-assembly he found the Buddha seated on his couch, as had already been told to him in the assembly by Satāgira and Hemavata (\*q.v.\*). In anger he tried in various ways to cast out the Buddha, but failed in his efforts and ended by becoming his disciple.²
