Nope, we were all going to seduce you at Christmas anyway. We have it all planned. How’s your tongue?” The use of the idea of incest in narratives of one kind or another for what may be termed its thematic and logical implications is quite common in the texts of many societies, if not indeed of all societies. The Sinhalese use of it in the chronicles is truly a continuation of the uses made of it in other legends and myths as one instrument for the solution of certain narrative problems. I wear yoga pants, but I hate yoga. I know I’m not alone but I take yoga pants wearing to shameful new levels. I buy yoga pants with the precision and meticulous research normal people save for purchasing their first home. They’ve got to have the right cut, stretchy fabric, and some sort of stomach panel. Marry James?" Kenny's look was nasty. He waited for an answer as he noticed his mother's nervousness. She always looked around the room when she was stumbling for words. He’d gone through all the routine questions, and there was a question: does the deceased have any other children? And she said, ‘yes he does’.
It creates something more, yet: it creates a set of brothers and sisters who are cross cousins of the incestuously created Sakyas. When the princess of the leprous couple grows up, their mother tells them, “Children, the Sakyas who dwell in Kapilavatsu are your maternal uncles. Your uncle’s daughters have the same style of hair and dress as you. When they come to the bathing place, go there and let each take the one that pleases him. They went there, and when the girls had bathed and were drying their hair, they each took one and making known their names, came away.” The Sakya raja on hearing of it thought “Let it be; to be sure they are our kinsfolk, and kept silent. This is the origin of the Sakyas and Koliyas, and thus the family of the Sakyas and Koliyas making intermarriages came down unbroken to the line of the Buddha” (Thomas, 1956: 10) That is, they marry their cross-cousins and Buddha is descended from one of these unions and here it functions as a variation on the theme of incest, which it would have been in cultures which did not differentiate between cross-cousins and parallel cousins.
Vijaya was of evil conduct and his followers were even like himself and many intolerable deeds were done by him (M: 53) I knew it! I just knew it!" he exploded. "Why didn't you ask me how I might feel?" Without giving his mother a chance to answer Kenny grabbed his schoolbooks and rushed out of the room.
Once the ancestral connections have been cut, the next problem presents itself: to make a new people without making connections to others – ancestors and consanguine – connections, if they existed, that would make it impossible to claim new beginnings. The slain lion fortunately begot a man and a woman, Sinhabahu and Sinhasivali, two with no human ancestors and no kin on the paternal side. What could be better than for these two, siblings though they were, to be united and bring forth a whole new people destined for the maintenance and propagation of Buddhism? Incest then is also a way of creating a new beginning. I was freezing my ass off but still just shook my head. Who ever heard of a superhero getting cold?
The story, however, does not end there. The elder sister contracted leprosy and her brothers decided to isolate her. While in this state, she is apprehended by another leprous, but royal, personage, who cures her illness as he cures his own and marries her. The union creates further progeny. Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 3,648 articles in the main category, and specifying |topic= will aid in categorization.
I moved out of parents house and in with my boyfriend at the ripe old age of 19. One day, I lay dreaming in a twin bed in my mother's basement, the next I was playing big girl pretend in a one-bedroom apartment in a boxy building complex.
The result of these deeds was banishment. The king Sinhabahu, the son of the Lion, exiles him and his followers, including their wives and children: he crosses the water, separating himself from his ancestors, his ancestral land and his former self. But the boat carrying the women gets separated from the one carrying the men, thereby making the men arrive in Lanka without women. The biological separation of the Vijaya figure from patrilineal ancestors by means of bestiality and incest is compounded now by a social and cultural rupture: Vijaya is evil and he leaves the kingdom, loses his women, crosses the sea and arrives in Lanka to found a new people and a new kingdom.
