Chandra Kinnara Jataka

The Bodhisattva was once born as a Kinnara, a half-human half-bird deity, who lived in the mountain with his wife Chandra. One day they came down from their mountain and were amusing themselves in a forest. Kinnara began to play upon flute and his wife started singing and dancing.
