This is quite shocking! A very strange tree in Thailand has been
found which bears fruit shaped like the figure of a young woman. The
baffling discovery has left people totally confused.
However, it has been revealed that in Buddhist mythology, a tree
known as the Nariphon bears the fruit of young female creatures and is
said to grow in the mythical forest called Himaphan.
The maidens grow attached by their head from the tree branches.
This tree grows at the Himaphan, a mythical forest where the female
fruits are enjoyed by the Gandharvas who cut the fruits and take them
away.
The Nariphon is also mentioned in the Vessantara Jataka in which
Indra placed these trees around the grove where the Bodhisattva
Vessantara meditated.
According to Buddhist mythology, the god Indra created a pavilion
(Sala) as an abode for Vessantara, his wife, and two children to live.
His wife went into the forest to collect fruits: she was, however, in
danger of being attacked by Hermits or Yogis who lived in the forest.
Although they had acquired special powers from their meditation, they
had not conquered lust (mattered the Girl).
Therefore, Indra created twelve of these special Nariphon trees.
The trees would bear fruit whenever she went out to collect food and
distract the men. The fruits were all in the image of Indra's beautiful
wife. The men took the fruits to their place of abode and after making
love to them would sleep for four months and lose their powers.
