The Buddhistic peta represents the Vedic pitara岣� (manes, cp. pit峁泍aj帽a), as well as the Br腻hma峁噄c preta. The first are souls of the 鈥渇athers, 鈥� the second ghosts, leading usually a miserable existence as the result (kammaphala) or punishment of some former misdeed (usually avarice). They may be raised in this existence by means of the dakkhi峁嚹� (sacrificial gift) to a higher category of mahiddhik腻 pet腻 (alias yakkhas), or after their period of expiation shift into another form of existence (manussa, deva, tiracch腻na).
