เกี้ยวนางเบญกายแปลง-จับนางเบญกาย

This Dance is taken from khon (masked dance-drama); from the episode "The Floating Lady" Benyakai is the daughter of Phiphek, and the niece of Thotsakan (Ravana), king of the demons of Krung Longka (Sri Lanka). Thotsakan has abducted Nang Seeda (Sita), the consort of Phra Ram (Rama), and has confined her within his pleasure garden. Phra Ram has gone with an army to lay siege to Krung Longka. Thotsakan learn of this and devises a stratagem to prevent war and save his soldiers. The plan is to disguise Benyakai as Nang Seeda and send her, pretending to be dead, to float along the river at the front of Phra Ram's camp so that when Phra Ram comes down to bath he might be led to think Nang Seeda is dead and depart with his army. The plan works, and Phra Ram grieves, but then Hanuman notices that the body of Nang Seeda has floated up stream to the camp. He craftily suggests that the body be cremated. When Banyakai escapes this and attempts to fly away, Hanuman gives chase. Caught, she yields to Hanuman's amorous advances.
