The “Connected Discourses on Fairies” is the third of four similar sections dealing with the modes in which various semi-celestial beings may be reborn. The current chapter is on the “fairies” or gandhabbas, who take on a number of benign aspects as minor deities associated with music, childbirth, and as here, plants.
