Source: OpenEdition books: Vividhatīrthakalpaḥ (Kāvya)Ajjamaṃgū (अज्जमंगू) is the name of an ancient teacher who became a Yakṣa, as mentioned in the Vividhatīrthakalpa by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (tīrthas).—Accordingly, “While the monks are near the Yakṣa temple, Maṃgū enters the picture and sticks out his tongue. To the astonished monks, he reveals that the sin of gluttony has earned him the rebirth of Yakṣa”.
