Kinnali or kinnari (a half-man and half bird creature). Once King Phommathat of Benares travelled lonely into the Himalaya Forest for hunting, he saw a kinnali who was so beautiful staying with her husband, kinnala. He had suddenly fallen in love with her and wanted her to become his own wife. Thus, he shot her husband with his archer and persuaded her to become his wife. Kinnali rejected his offer. Moreover, she condemned him as a bad man. She stayed alongside her husband and cried. When the king went away, Indra came and poured the holy water on kinnala, then he revived.
