One day Guberan was riding the "Busabok" (magical dais/chariot), which he recieved as a gift (some tales say from his father, and some say it was the Deity Brahma who bestowed this gift upon him). He was on the way to visit Phra Isworn (Shiva), who on that day was out on his elephant, when his younger brother Totsagan (who had just completed the ceremony to remove his heart and give it to the Ruesi), saw him hovering through the air on the magical chariot and was filled with envy and avarice. Totsagan flew into the air and attacked Guberan, who was unable to prevent Totsagan from gaining advantage.Totsagan was know for his uncontrollable desire and ferocity when jealous or angry. Whatever Totsagan's emoptions were, they were always extremely vehement.
When Totsagan transformed into his true higher self he would have 20 arms and ten heads.
Below pic shows the Busabok in a later scene where Nok Sadayu fights Totsagan to save Naang Siidaa
Guberan thus called out to Phra Isworn to help, so Phra Isworn threw a tusk from his elephant at Totsagan which pierced his breast. Phra Isworn cursed him to have the tusk remain until his dying day stuck in his chest. For this reason,Totsagan always had to cut the tusk regularly in oredr to keep it level with his chest and prevent it from growing.

Below are various pics of Thai Ganok (as seen in Guberan's crown/mongkud), and also of "Busabok" like furniture.
The beautiful filigraine handwork on the left is typical "Ganok" (or alternatively called "Granok"). Granok are fire like flamy tongues of decorative imagination that will end in naga head formed tips. The nagas are strongly emphasized in the metamorphosing flow of fine line abstract decorative Asian art which leaves the Western eye both amazed and staggered by its intricate beauty and delicacy of form.This piece to 285 people from four different professions to make it and took one year to finish the job. It was made to celebrate the occasion of the Queens birthday on 12th August of 2547 B.E.
The pic below this was also made for the same occasion and took one and a half years work by 73 people
