| At some point in time, Rakshasas and asuras attacked them, but Yajna, accompanied by his sons the Yamas and the demigods, killed them. |
| With that he created the Yakshas, Pisachas, Gandharvas, Apsaras, Naras, Kinnaras, Rakshasas, birds and Pasus, the quadrupeds and reptiles. |
| They are akin to the Rakshasas of India or the arch-demons of Zoroastrianism. |
| From the womb of Sunrita, the wife of Dharma, the Lord appeared as Satyasena, and He killed all the Yakshas and Rakshasas who were fighting with Satyajit. |
| Asuras and Rakshasas have power to assume various shapes and defy the rules of nature. |
| The Rakshasas robbed people of their senses and 'possessed' them. |
