think a way to separate Sidapaksa from
his wife.

7.  However, one day, while this young mother
was bathing, her evil mother-in-law took the
baby, she took the baby carefully and threw the
baby into the river. Knowing that her baby had
disappeared , the young mother was very sad
and confused. She tried to find her baby but she
couldn’t find him. She could neither eat nor
sleep. She became very ill.

8.  Two years passed and Sidapaksa returned from his journey. He
succeeded in doing his duty. Just as he was about to enter his
house, her mother told him that his wife had thrown their baby
into the river.
 Sidapaksa believed his mother’s story. He was too angry to use
his common sense. He drew his kris and approached his wife
who was lying weak on her bed.
 “Ah, wicked woman. Tell me why you threw our new-born
child into the river. Tell me!” he said in a rough and angry
voice.
 “Oh, my dearest husband. I am innocent. I love you, and our
baby. I didn’t kill our child. If you don’t believe me, carry me
to the river. I will prove that I didn’t do it,” replied his wife
calmly.

9.  Sidapaksa took her wife to the edge of the river. Suddenly, his
wife leaped up and threw herself into the river.
 “Oh my God! How will I know who killed my child?” moaned
Sidapaksa.
 Then, he looked down at the water. Suddenly, two pure white
flower-buds appeared, one larger and taller than the other. A
sweet fragrance came from them.
 “Sidapaksa, look here! Beside me is our child. He himself will
tell you who drowned him,” the taller one spoke.”
 “Father, my mother is innocent. Grandmother threw me into
the river. Now I’m happy because my beloved mother has
come with me”, the smaller one spoke. Then, the two flowers
vanished into the water. They left their fragrance behind.
