Kosapalli Achan Nambudri was reciting the Bhagavata after his dinner.  Guptan Nambudri gave the book and asked his leave since he was waiting outside.  The learned teacher, however suspected something.  He came out and saw the woman.  He told his disciple to touch him and look at her.  Lo! it was an apparition, a fiendish woman with fierce eyes and protruding teeth.  Little did Guptan Nabudri realise that he was in the clutchesof a terible yakshi outto entice men and devour them.
