### [v1.c6.3405](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.3405)

The story is referred to in the Vibhaṅga Commentary² in connection with a King of Benares who, having gone into the forest with his queen to eat roast flesh, fell in love with a kinnarī and deserted his wife. When he returned to his queen he found her flying through the air away from him, having developed \*iddhi\* powers. A tree-sprite then uttered a stanza, citing the example of Asitābhū.
