- In Borges's story, the A Bao A Qu lives on the steps of the Tower of Victory in Chitor, from the top of which one can see "the loveliest landscape in the world". The A Bao A Qu waits on the first step for a man brave enough to try to climb up. Until that point, it lies sleeping, shapeless and translucent, until someone passes. Then, when a man starts climbing, the creature wakes, and follows close behind. As it progresses further and further up, it begins to become clearer and more colorful. It gives off a blue light which increases as it ascends. But it only reaches perfection when the climber reaches the top, and achieves Nirvana, so his acts don't cast any shadows.

| - In Borges's story, the A Bao A Qu lives on the steps of the Tower of Victory in Chitor, from the top of which one can see "the loveliest landscape in the world". The A Bao A Qu waits on the first step for a man brave enough to try to climb up. Until that point, it lies sleeping, shapeless and translucent, until someone passes. Then, when a man starts climbing, the creature wakes, and follows close behind. As it progresses further and further up, it begins to become clearer and more colorful. It gives off a blue light which increases as it ascends. But it only reaches perfection when the climber reaches the top, and achieves Nirvana, so his acts don't cast any shadows. But almost all the time, the climber cannot reach the top, for they are not perfect. When the A Bao A Qu realizes this, it hangs back, losing color and visibility, and tumbles back down the staircase until it reaches the bottom, once more dormant and shapeless. In doing so, it gives a small cry, so soft that it sounds similar to the rustling of silk. When touched, it feels like the fuzz on the skin of a peach. Only once in its everlasting life has the A Bao A Qu reached its destination at the top of the tower.
- A Bao A Qu is a Malay myth described in Jorge Luis Borges's 1967 "Book of Imaginary Beings", who claimed to have found it in a book on Malay witchcraft. His skin is fuzzy like the skin of a peach and his color goes from transparent to bright blue. He lives on the 1st step of the Tower Of Victory in Chitor. The tower consists of many spiraling steps, in which one could see the most beautiful scenery in the entire world. He waits for a man brave enough to climb the tower by sleeping in the form of a translucent blob. He shall awaken from his slumber when someone arrives. When a climber gets to the top he shall achieve Nirvana, all the while followed by A Bao A Qu. A majority of the time the climber won't reach the top and he will become transparent and descend to the tower's bottom to become dormant once again. He will start crying so softly that it sounds like the rustling of silk.
