Loka Phayu
|
Angels of the tempest; This I suppose to be the translation of the Siamese Loka Phayu, but I am not certain. Turnour, translating an account
of this same portent, says they were Kamawachara angels, that is, angels of any of the sensual heavens. Phayu seems to be the same as the
Vedic Vayu - god of the wind; and this mention of the Phayu angels clothed in red garments seems to have been suggested by a hymn of the
Rig Veda, quoted in Manning's " Ancient and Mediaeval India" from Muir's translation.
