Daughter of Sakka. Once when Nárada was on his way to Kañcanaguhá where he dwelt and which stood at the head of Manosilátala, he carried in his hand a Páricchattaka flower, and the four daughters of Sakka - Ásá, Saddhá, Siri and Hirí - who were in Manosilátala, resting from their sports in Anotatta, on seeing him, asked him for the flower. He said he would give it to the one among them whom they chose to be their queen. He himself was asked to choose the queen, but he referred them to Sakka who, in his turn, sent them to the ascetic Macchariya-Kosiya in the Himálaya. Sakka sent in advance a cup of ambrosia to the ascetic and told his daughters that the one among them, with whom Kosiya should share his ambrosia, would be deemed the best. When they appeared before Kosiya he asked their names, and chose Hirí for the honour of sharing his meal. In rejecting Ásá, Kosiya said, "They tell me that whoever pleases you, to him, by accomplishing the fruition of hope, you grant life, whosoever pleases you not, to him you grant it not. In this case success does not come to him through you, but you bring about his destruction." He spoke in like terms to the other two. The story occurs in the Sudhábhojana Játaka. J.v.392ff.
