Mr Lal, I wonder what is the reasoning behind your statement that a gandhabba cannot be “destroyed”, after all, they are just matter that can be separated from each other (like a human body being separated from all its limbs) and they are also compossed of dhamma, which all have anatta nature, which means they don’t have innate essence to them and are only compossed of collections upon collections of fine matter making the illusion of “one” ultimate being and essence while they are all actually like rivers of matter that keeps changing parts every moment or so.

In my mind, in the case of a gandhabba getting “disasembled”, they will just be instantly born again according to their kamma vinnana or cuti patisandhi in the appropriate realms, one of them might be in the asanna realm in some special cases.

I still can’t quite get this minor thing yet.
