text: Timbarū is a chieftain of the gandharvas. There is a romantic story told about the love between his daughter Bhaddā Suriyavacchasā (Sanskrit: ) and another gandharva, Pañcasikha (Sanskrit: ). Pañcasikha fell in love with Suriyavacchasā when he saw her dancing before Śakra, but she was then in love with Mātali's son Sikhandī (or Sikhaddi). Pañcasikha went to Timbarū's home and played a melody on his flute of beluva-wood, with which he had great skill, and sang a love song in which he interwove themes about the Buddha and the Arhats.
  Śakra petitioned Pañcasikha to intercede with the Buddha so that he might have an audience with him. As a reward for Pañcasikha's services, Śakra was able to get Suriyavacchasā, already pleased with Pañcasikha's display of skill and devotion, to agree to marry Pañcasikha.
  Pañcasikha also acts as a messenger for the Four Heavenly Kings, conveying news from them to Mātali, the latter representing Śakra and the  Devas.
  In Jainism
  In Jainism, gandharvas are classed among the eight Vyantara Devas.
  The Tiloyapaṇṇatti provides a list of ten gandharvas:
  Hāhā
  Huhū
  Nārada
  Tumbara
  Vāsava
  Kadamba
  Mahāsvara
  Gītarati
  Gītarasa
  Vajravān
  The Saṃgrahaṇī Sūtra of the Śvetāmbara sect provides a slightly different list:
  Hāhā
  Huhū
  Tumburu
  Nārada
  Ṛṣivādika
  Bhūtavādika
  Kadamba
  Mahākadamba
  Raivata
  Viśvāvasu
  Gītarati
  Gītayaśas
  The Digambara sect describes the gandharvas as having a golden complexion while the Śvetāmbara tradition recognizes them as blackish. The Tumbaru is their sacred tree.
