Stephanotis - Iasomia

A legend in India tells Princess Jasmine that she fell in love with the Sun god (Surya- Deva). Love was not reciprocal - he rejected it, and the princess, unable to pass the refusal, committed suicide. The god was sad and grim, clenching the ashes of the face, molding a beautiful bush of jasmine with a wonderful smell. At night, when there is no light, the flowers open and release the spirit of the beautiful princess - so the Sun God is not disturbed.

O legenda din India povesteste ca Printesa Jasmine s-a indragostit de zeul Soare (Surya- Deva). Dragostea nu era reciproca- el a respins-o iar printesa, neputand sa treaca peste refuz, s-a sinucis. Zeul s-a intristat si, indurerat, a strans cenusa fetei modeland o tufa frumoasa de iasomie cu o mireasma minunata. Noaptea, cand nu este lumina, florile se deschid si elibereaza spiritul frumoasei printese- astfel zeul Soare nefiind tulburat.
