Legends related to the four-faced Buddha in Cambodia are: legends Brahman "the four-faced Buddha" and a youth bet on guessing riddles, who loses will cut his head off. The riddle to guess is: "What parts of the body are human luck in the morning, noon, and evening?" The youth was distressed, thinking that he had no chance of winning, and sat under the brown sugar tree and thought, and occasionally learned the answer from the mouths of two eagles. He replied, “Human luck is in the face, in the chest, in the foot at night, because people wash their faces in the morning, in the chest at noon, and in the foot at night before going to bed.” As a result, Brahman lost and cut his head off. But Brahman's cut head would bring disaster to the world, so he instructed seven daughters to put his head in the cave of the Himalayas and take it in turn to bring their heads back to heaven. In addition, there are 49 huge statues of the four-faced Buddha in the Bayan Temple in Angkor City, Siem Reap, Cambodia, which is said to be the face of the Angkor King Jehovah VII, who built the Bayan Temple, but there is no widely circulated legend about these Buddha statues.
