She lingers around the eaves of roofs in Meitei mythology and folklore of Ancient Kangleipak (early Manipur).

Whoever lost the riddle game would give the winner a Shareng fish (Wallago attu, helicopter catfish).

She thought of an evil plan to ruin the couple's life.

[6]" The next day, Yenakha Paodabi did everything in to her plan: She changed her appearance so she looked like the wife.

The husband had no doubt about the woman until his real wife returned home.

After hearing the whole story, the king said to the two women, "As both of you are firm on your stands, let the great God show us the truth.

[9]" Then, as per a new plan devised by the King, a priest (maiba) got blessings from the Lainingthou (Great God) and put a hollow bamboo pipe on a banana leaf.

[10] Then, the king told the two women that only the real woman would be able to pass through the narrow bamboo pipe.

The king and asked the two to try to go through the pipe to prove their real identity.

[11] Then, the king immediately made his men close both the ends of the bamboo pipe.

He tried to burn the bamboo pipe, but Yenakha Paodabi requested that he let her go.

From that day onwards, Yenakha Paodabi never interfered again with the couple's life.

Since her husband's death, the woman went to market and sell vegetables to feed her children.

Taking advantage of this situation, Yenakha Paotabi transfigured herself to look like the mother.

The sister discovered that the strange woman was not their mother but a witch.

So, she thought of running away with her survived younger brother to save their lives.

Yenakha Paotabi finished eating the small boy.

Her newly married husband fell suspicious of her as the children called her "Mother".

The mother brought a Shuk (stick of rice grinder).

According to the mother's words, the sister was accepted but the little boy was rejected.

[13][12] After that, the sister gave her younger brother only paddy grains to cook.

Accidentally, he slipped on a Lukrak (Culm sheath of bamboo tree) and all the grains fell off.

The younger brother cried and narrated the mishaps to his sister.

The bird promised him a Yai (magical diamond stone) in place of its life.

With the help of the Yai, they gave a lot of food and clothing to many poor people.

In another version of the story, the brother and the sister planned to kill both the mother and the stepfather.

So, the brother gave the couple two bamboo bottles filled with bees.

On the way back to home, the couple fell tired of their journey.
