(Pi€cha). A Sanskrit term that has a dual meaning. In theosophical literature as well as in Indian folklore, pi€cas refer to ghosts. They are astral shells of those who have lived evil lives, and thus these shades have malevolent influences. In the Pur€Šas, pi€cas refer to sons of Gods commonly regarded as demons, as are the D€navas, Daityas, and the R€kshasas.
