Rathakṛtsa

Rathakṛtsa

Rathakṛtsa is a yaksha who attends Bhagavān Sūrya. The Brahma Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa, in its account of the ratha of Sūrya, says that Bhagavān Sūrya stays with gandharvas, apsarās, serpents and rākshasas, two months with each group in turn. In Caitra and Vaiśākha the yakshas with him are Rathakṛtsa and Raja.
