Prahasta
Prahasta (Sanskrit: प्रहस्त, IAST: prahasta, lit. "he who has extended hands") is a powerful rakshasa warrior in the Ramayana tradition, presented there as Ravana's chief commander who leads Lanka's armies in campaigns against gods, asuras, and the invading forces of Rama. Variants across traditions differ on his precise kinship to Ravana and on ethical portrayal, with some later retellings depicting him as a virtuous figure who counsels restraint.
Prajapati
Prajapati (Sanskrit: प्रजापति) is a Vedic-Brahmana creator figure whose name means "lord of creatures." In Vedic and Brahmana texts he functions as a primordial creative principle and progenitor; in later Puranic layers the term becomes a flexible title applied to multiple creator‑figures (including Brahma and others).
Praxithea
Praxithea (Ancient Greek Πραξιθέα) is a personal name borne by multiple women in classical Greek narrative traditions: several distinct figures include a freshwater nymph (Naiad), an Athenian queen or royal matron in different genealogical accounts, a daughter who with her sisters was linked to a civic-sacrificial legend at Athens, and a named witness who cries out during Demeter’s attempt to make Demophon immortal. The name thus indexes liminal roles between natural/divine landscapes and Athenian civic and household myth.
Preta (Bhūt)
A bhoota (bhūt) is a supernatural being in Indian popular culture and some ancient texts, typically understood as the restless or perturbed spirit of a deceased person that has not properly moved on after death.

Preta (Hungry Ghost)
A post-mortem supernatural being associated with extreme, unremitting hunger and thirst. In Hindu usage the Sanskrit term can mean a deceased person, while Buddhist traditions develop the category into a distinct realm of hungry spirits whose condition illustrates karmic consequences for demeritorious action.
