When the Bodhisatta had observed the precepts in the forest, he had only fruits. Later, the King (Chao Phraya) in Varanasi (Benares) who had seven daughters called all daughters together and said to them that it was time for them to find a marriage partner for succession. So he guided his royal attendants to call 500 people for them to choose. Six daughters had already made their choice, but only Princess Phimpha had not done it yet. After that the poor Phothisat (Bodhisatta) entered the palace. Princess Phimpha saw him and chose Ratanamaṇi. Phraya Chao Müang became very angry and chased both of them out of the city. God Indra saw this anxiously and came down to the human word to build a castle for the couple so that they could stay together.
