Demons of Sri Lanka : ウィキペディア英語版 | Demons of Sri Lanka Demons, more commonly known by their Sinhala names ''yakseya'' and ''yakka'' (Sinhala: යක්ෂයා/යකා), form an important part of Sinhalese folklore in Sri Lanka. They are under the rule of a king, who has forbidden them to kill humans. Therefore they bring down various diseases upon humans, so that they can gain the satisfaction that they are denied because of this ban. Victims who are believed to have been affected by demons then have to be cured and the demons repelled through exorcism rituals. == Origins == Demons are believed to spring into existence, fully grown (known as ''opapatika'' in the Pali language) rather than being given birth by a mother.〔 However, some demons, like the Kola Sanni Yaka have been born to human parents and later become demons. Another demon that was born in an unusual way is the Maha Sohona, who had been revived by a god after being killed, but returned from the dead as a demon.
