The young boy told various events to Phraya Chao Müang (the ruler of the city). Before his departure, Phraya Chao Müang gave him a Sali Kanchai Kaeo sword (two or four-edged dagger) complete with weapons in order to find the daughter. Then he said goodbye and traveled to various cities. He built a boat to cross the river, called on the princess and asked the different people. In that way he went in the direction and found a cage that imprisoned people. There are two people in that cage waiting for the giant serpent to eat. When the young child, Bodhisattva saw he went to help and requested to go into the cage that held both of her. Although both of them forbid the little child had no fear. Then the hungry giant serpent came to the cage. The young child fired a fire arrow and the giant serpent then ran away. The young boy released two women. The giant serpent disappeared with pain because of the fire arrow in the eye.
