yi dags

A class of spirits sometimes called hungry ghosts.

A restless wandering ghost. In the Buddhist tradition, they are particularly known to suffer from hunger and thirst and the inability to acquire such sustenance.

Class of beings; literally "hungry spirit;" one of the six realms of existence.

Literally "the departed" and analagous to the ancestral spirits of the Vedic tradition, the pitṛs, who starve without the offerings of descendants. They live in the realm of Yama, the Lord of Death, analogous to the underworld of Pluto in Greek mythology. In Buddhism they are said to suffer intensely, particularly from hunger and thirst.
