Oh! This child must be her only. How lucky I am. I am childless. Now I got a child
as well as this beauty.
Beautiful lady! What are you doing alone in this terrible forest. Come with me. I will make you my queen.

But the king was filled with lust. He stepped ahead and tried to hold Malaya. Malaya stepped back.
He picked the child up
I am taking him away. Now if you want you may also come with me...

I don't want to do anything by force. That is why I tell you to come with me willingly. I will provide you all comforts.

Keep away. Don't take me to be weak just because I am a woman. I am also the goddess of death. You will turn to ashes if you touch me.
