When Maiyarap's mother, a woman of great wisdom and sound judgement, hears of her son's preparations to raise an army and march to Longka, she hurries to see him.  She tells Maiyarap that Phra Ram has come to earth to overthrow the demons and predicts that he will be involved in their destruction if he throws in his lot with Totsagan.  She advises him strongly to remain in Badan and let matters above take their course, pleads with him when he continues with his preparations for the campaign, and finally warns him that she will withhold her blessing if he rejects her advice.

Maiyarap, at the best of times subject to an uncertain temper, now falls into a violent rage at this opposition to his will.  The courtiers withdraw and servants flee when they see their master in this dangerous condition, for in his rages Maiyarap has been known to destroy even what is dear to him.  Now, shouting and cursing, the giant strides through the palace while his mother weeps, and in an extremity of passion takes his fine chariot by the shafts and dashes it to the ground, at the same time killing the draught lions.  This act of wantonness partly assuages his rage, and Maiyarap proceeds with the mustering of his army and without further delay marches it to Longka.
