The sacred trees which bear fruit in his wife’s image serve as a distraction from the evil creatures while Vessantara is picking her food in the forest. The creatures would take the fruits back to their homes, then would make love to them. After making love, they would sleep for four months and lose their powers. According to the myth, after Indra and his wife died, the trees continued to bear fruit.

There are rumored to be two Nariphon pods stored in Luang Pho Jarun at Wat Ampawan In Singburi Buddhist temple near Bangkok. Gifts inspired by the Nariphon are now sold widely throughout Thailand, leading to many hoaxes.
