After the battle with the son of Inthasaket king, Phaya Pokkharaphat fought the king of Kapilavatthu and arrested his sister, Queen Sippatidevi to his kingdom and tortured her. A goddess named Sangkha Deva who had power felt pity to the queen. The deva talked to Phaya Pokkharaphat and asked him to release the queen but tortured herself instead. Sangkha Deva was beaten by human beings, she could not return the heaven. Thus she lived on a tree and she became a Lukkha Deva (deva of tree).
