Yakshas / Hariti
According to myth, Hฤrฤซtฤซ was originally a rฤkแนฃasฤซ of Rajgir at the same time Gautama Buddha also lived there. She had hundreds of children of her own, whom she loved and doted upon, but to feed them, she abducted and ate the children of others.
The bereaved mothers of her victims pleaded to the Buddha to save them. So, the Buddha stole the youngest of Haritiโs sons (in a variant version, the youngest daughter), and hid him under his rice bowl. After having desperately searched for her missing son throughout the universe, Hฤrฤซtฤซ finally appealed to the Buddha for help.
The Buddha pointed out that she was suffering because she lost one of hundreds of children and asked if she could imagine the suffering of parents whose only child had been devoured. She replied contritely that their suffering must be many times greater than hers. She then vowed to protect all children, and in lieu of children's flesh, she would henceforth only eat pomegranates.
Henceforth Hฤrฤซtฤซ became the protector of children and women in childbirth. In exchange, the Buddha gave her bodhi (Enlightenment), which enabled her to withstand black magic and evil powers and gave her the facility to cure the sick.
