Triburam ตรีบุรัม

Triburam ตรีบุรัม

There was once a Yaksa named Triburam who was ruler of the City of Solasa. He was renowned fror his great power and was feared by the Devas, Nagas and Angels alike. But Triburam was extremely afraid of Phra Narayn (Vishnu). So he held a secret desire to defeat Phra Narayn, and do away with the problem once and for all. So he sat and meditated on the edge of a stream and made a fire poojahing his eyes and chanting powerful katas.
Truburam remained performing this Poojah for a period of seven years and seven days. Meanwhile, in the Celestial Realms, Phra Isworn (Shiva), was feeling rather hot and bothered, so he stretched his eyes over the great ocean of existence to see Triburam maing a great fire ceremony. Phra Isworn thus travelled down to Earth and appeared before Triburam and said "For what reason do you afflict my body revering the Fire elementals like this? do you want something from me?" Triburam replied "I wish to ask for bestowal of blessings from your Lordship, that Phra Narayn will be powerless to come and defeat me.". Phra Isworn bestowed this blessing upon Triburam, but with the simle condiiton that triburam would not go causing any trouble or unrest in the Three Worlds, which Triburam agreed to do and made a solemn promise to Phra Isworn that he wouldnt bully or harm anybody.

But as Triburam received his blessings, he soon forgot his solemn oath to Phra Isworn, and began to perform evil acts of destruction, attacking and chasing away the Devas, and kidnapping the Nymphs and female Devas for having his way with. He flew through all the levels of the three Worlds causing havoc wherever he went, so the Devas and Heavenly beings went to beg Phra Isworn to do something. Upon hearing the news, Phra Isworn was extremeley vexed, and called an army of Angels to go and battle with Triburam. He took Mount Krailash as an arrowpouch, and the Paya Naak (Naga King) as his bow, and using Phra Narayn as the arrow, and led the army of Angels to the battle with Triburam.
Triburam saw Phra Isworn coming with his armies of Angels, and was filled with apprehension, he ordered his armies of Yaksa to attack the Angelic cohorts. A great number of Yaksas met their fate within no time, and thus, Triburam entered the battle himself, laying waste to the Angelic cohorts of Phra isworn's army. Phra Isworn saw that his army was losing, and thus stretched his arms to extend the Naga Bow and shoot Phra Narayn as the arrow. Three shots were fired, one after the other, but the arrows did not pierce Triburam, due to the fact that Phra Narayn was asleep, and that Triburam was bestowed the blessing that even Phra Narayn would not be able to defeat him. P{hra Isworn saw this and threw the bow and arrow down in disgust. This caused Phra Narayn to awaken and ask Phra Isworn what was happening?
Phra Isworn explained that he hadn't bothered to awaken Phra narayn, because of the blessing that he had bestowed upon Triburam protecting him from Phra Narayn. Lord Phra Narayn became angry, and thus decreed that if Triburam could not be defeated by the arrow, then it shall be by fire! Phra Isworn thus took the magic lens and gazed his flamy gaze using his third fire eye in his forehead, and Triburam was burnt to ashes in an instant, along with his armies of Yaksa.
