While Prince Pachitta and his wife, Ora Phimpha were travelling into the jungle, they met a hunter. When the hunter saw Ora Phimpha who was so beautiful, he fell in love with her at first sight. So, the hunter killed Prince Pachitta by his archer for possessing Ora Phimpha. Then he took Ora Phimpha to his home. On the way, Ora Phimpha killed the hunter with Prince Pachitta’s sword.
