		The area recognized as the traditional land of Yakkha is the southern part of Sakhuwasabha district bordering the district of Dhankuta.
		Yakkha is a Tibeto-Burman language and has much in common with the language of the Limbus.
		As among Yakkhas there is a practice of gathering for special occasions and worshipping deities according to descent from the father's side and of keeping the clan deity in the house of the eldest son, we can guess that the Yakkha society is under the leadership of the eldest male of the lineage.

		The term yakkha as applied to purisa is evidently used in an exceptionally philosophical sense as meaning "soul" in such passages as ett�vat� yakkhassa suddhi (SN.vs.478), or ett�vat' aggam no vadanti h' ek�, yakkhassa suddhim idha p�ndit�se (SN.vs.875).
		The Yakkhas are evidently of different grades - as is the case with all classes of beings � the highest among them approximate very nearly to the devas and have deva-powers, the lowest resemble petas.
		In the At�n�tiya Sutta (D.iii.194f), however, the Yakkha king, Vessavana, is represented as telling the Buddha that, for the most part, the Yakkhas believe neither in the Buddha nor in his teachings, which enjoin upon his followers abstention from various evils and are therefore distasteful to some of the Yakkhas.

		Concerned for the sangha and wanting to protect them from the ravages of yakkha toughs who resent the Dhamma, the best he can do is provide people with a kind of verbal visa they can recite that promises retribution to any non-human being who threatens.
