Phayakabinlaphom the god of the sky at the wisest when he heard that Thammabane is powerful boy he wanted to make a competition about the knowledge, he came down to the world and set up 3 questions for Thammabane to answer the bid word if Thammabane could reply Kabinlaphom head will be cut by Thammabane, the three questions are, the first question where is the tint (bright and lustrous) of the body in the morning ?, the second question where is the tint (bright and lustrous) of the body in the afternoon ?, the third question where is the tint (bright and lustrous) of the body in the evening ?. Thammabane could not reply immediately but he proposed to the postpone, the date for answer within seven days. He thought and thought but nothing could come out, then three days passed. He went out for a long distance, he was very tired and slept under a big tree on its branches the big eagles talked in the bird language and female asked ( what kind of food will be for me tomorrow?, the male replied oh ! My dear we are going to have Thammabane meat the female asked why? The male told her that Thammabane could be not answering Kabinlaphom questions and he would be killed, the female repeated the question as written above.
