Yaksha (Sanskrit: यक्ष, yakṣa, ञक्ख, yakkha in Pāli) is the name of a broad class of nature-spirits, usually benevolent, who are caretakers of the natural treasures hidden in the earth and tree roots. They appear in Hindu, Jain and Buddhist mythology as a kind of nature spirit, whose female counterparts are [[Yaksini]]. In Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist mythology, the yakṣa has a dual personality. On the one hand, a yakṣa may be an inoffensive nature-fairy, associated with woods and mountains; but there is a much darker version of the yakṣa, which is a kind of cannibalistic ogre, ghost or demon that haunts the wilderness and waylays and devours travelers, similar to the [[Rakshasa|rakṣasas]]. They also follow [[Bishamonten]], one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Although not actually the demon appears in the game, "Yaksa" (jp: 夜叉鬼, ''Yashaki'') is used to categorize demons first "tuned" in the "real world" during boss battles. The usage is never explicitly explained in the game, but it is probably for distinguishing the demons of [[Asura]] class, which takes form initially from the virtual world, [[Junkyard]], of the "Asura Project" such as [[Varna]] and [[Agni]]. In this sense, [[Varnani]] and [[Indra]] belong to the Yaksa class. It also explains why [[Vritra]], which is transformed from a [[Heat|Junkyard AI]], is titled Yaksa instead of Asura.

KWYaksha

Yaksa's appearance Shin Megami Tensei II

Yaksa or Yaksha (ヤクシャ, Yakusha)? is a demon in the series.

History

Yaksha (Sanskrit: यक्ष, yakṣa, ञक्ख, yakkha in Pāli) is the name of a broad class of nature-spirits, usually benevolent, who are caretakers of the natural treasures hidden in the earth and tree roots. They appear in Hindu, Jain and Buddhist mythology as a kind of nature spirit, whose female counterparts are Yaksini. In Hindu, Jain and Buddhist mythology, the yakṣa has a dual personality. On the one hand, a yakṣa may be an inoffensive nature-fairy, associated with woods and mountains; but there is a much darker version of the yakṣa, which is a kind of cannibalistic ogre, ghost or demon that haunts the wilderness and waylays and devours travelers, similar to the rakṣasas. They also follow Bishamonten, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Although the demon does not actually appear in the game, "Yaksa" (jp: 夜叉鬼, Yashaki) is used to categorize demons first "tuned" in the "real world" during boss battles. The usage is never explicitly explained in the game, but it is probably for distinguishing the demons of Asura class, which takes form initially from the virtual world, Junkyard, of the "Asura Project" such as Varna and Agni. In this sense, Varnani and Indra belong to the Yaksa class. It also explains why Vritra, which is transformed from a Junkyard AI, is titled Yaksa instead of Asura.

Devil Survivor 2

"A spirit of demigod status that serves the Hindu god of wealth. It lives in the Himalayas and guards treasure.
It is a holy spirit of sorts that lives in other worlds, in the air, in forests, and underwater. It is known as Yasha in Buddhism, and protects its teachings. It prevents invasion of homes by evil spirits, grants blessings to the good, and devours the evil. It is a benevolent god in India, but in Japan, it is known as a dreadful man-eating demon that kills men and devours their bodies and souls."
