Mahagiri was Maung Tint De, a blacksmith's son of Tagaung, burned alive bound to a champak tree by a suspicious king; his sister died with him and both haunted the tree, which was carried to Mount Popa and carved into their figures. Burmese houses still hang a coconut on a post for him. Bo Bo Gyi, an avatar of Indra in the Shwedagon story, pointed to where the pagoda should rise; Thai devotees call him thep than chai, the deity who grants at once, and offer scarves and paso.",
