tampha did not accept her mother's offers. however, her mother caught hold of her and tried to force her to eat. tampha told her mother of the conditions with which she was leaving heaven to meet them on earth. then, her mother arranged a shade with seven layers of false ceiling, enclosed by seven layers of drapery. her plan was to block the vision of salailen from above. inside the shades, she served out delicious food for tampha. poor tampha was compelled to eat what her mother had so lovingly prepared for her. but the god salailen saw it happen even through the drapes. as tampha started eating, salailen proclaimed from heaven that she could not come back to his abode. he spat a blob of spit on her hand (or "on her food" in another version). the golden ladder (or "golden stairs" in another version) was also lifted up. poor tampha was abandoned from heaven. salailen also took back his promises of immortality and immunity to disease.
