Those passionate emotional, they get beds with mattresses Devas first red two temptations. But if the prince regent for the apartment, determined not to look at them, that goes mindfulness, the seventh day, he will receive the kingdom here.

- The man who is ahead of her?
- Dear sir, it was my husband elegant young.
- Hey you, when you have young wife stunningly sharp, beautiful bouquet, delicate like a wreath, spent according to your own families and put their trust in you, why not go with her to her from fatigue ?

Many people saw it, as well as the form of the previous questions. Bodhisattva answered as before and go to Takkasila. Female Yakshis make children disappear, and alone to follow the Bodhisattva. And Bodhisattva went to the gate and to sit in the dining for the worship. Because the power of the Bodhisattva, female Yakshis not accessible, immediately turned out a woman standing in front of God worship.
At that time, King Takkasila're going to the park. Seeing her, tempted heart king, the king sent someone to ask her husband or not. He came and asked and she answered:
- I married. My husband was sitting in the house for the worship.
Bodhisattva said:

King called female Yakshis back, let it sit on the back of an elephant, walked around the palace and then return to it at a domestic supply of the queen. After King showered, eaten in the afternoon and then to the dragon ready. Female Yakshis herself proper food to eat themselves, preparing makeup, and lying to the king dragon bed. The night was over, after the king pleasure, sleeping, female labor-rubbed through a side spin and then crying. King asked why she was crying. Female Yakshis answered:
- Sire, postcards are Dai Wang met halfway and bring about supply, but supply much of the Great King concubine. Living here, between the hostile, postcards have been caught holding the immersion, were stunned when they asked her parents are? Lineage or her birth What is life? She just picked up on the street person! If the Great King for postcards authority and power in the kingdom, no one can make business cards with the saying angry like that anymore!
- This bride, had no right to those who are in the kingdom. I am not the lord and master of them. Those who make the king angry or do something wrong, then we are all of them new. For this reason, we can not tell the Bride of authority and power in the kingdom.
- So, Sire, if the Great King can not force a business card across the country or around the city, at least for business cards on the power supply in the cabinet, to business cards can dominate those who live in the palace .
King too captivated by disasters should contact undeniable words Yakshis women, and they accepted.
- You instead, the bride, bride and I will give power to those who live within the palace, as such, their spouse can put under his authority.
Female Yakshis consent, waiting for the king to sleep, went on the Yakshis bringing along Yakshis female union to offer. Then he won the hand of the King lives and eating all the tendons, skin, flesh, blood, leaving only the bones. The remaining female Yakshis from door to come in, start eating from the chickens, dogs in the contents, we eat it all, only to the remaining bone. The next day, found the door closed longer, people to madness broke a window, and tried to go inside, just find bones scattered around the contents. Seeing this, they said:
- The man was right to say that she was not his wife, was the female Yakshis! And the king, do not know anything, take it as wife. Female Yakshis he must have known the child Yakshis come, eat all turned away.
And the Bodhisattva, then, stay at home for the people who worship, after placing sand on top amulets, and talismans column just around the forehead, immediately stood up swords, until dawn. The other people clean up the whole supply, paving the ground with green grass, smooth taste, sprinkle with flowers, hanging from the roof hangs down the bouquet, fragrant incense, garlands column.
