Rev. Mr. Gutsiarr’s Remarks on the Siamese Language. 301 
mercy is fourteen-fold. I reverence the kindness of father, mother, and the teacher of 
letters, a clever doctor. I raise the hands, and make my obeisance to all; the favour of 
all together,—and to thy grace I beg leave to speak about the knowledge of Su-tem-na- 
nu-ra, and of this history. I pay respects to the religious book, which is according to 
truth. I am stupid and exceedingly dark. When I shall hear religious books, I shall 
know historical facts. ‘The most high shall go to dwell in the temple of the disciple, 
and approach the illiterate, so that he can speak, investigate, and shew benignity.”

Translation. 
“« Immediately he was angry, he raised the dust, the fire was scattered and extin- 
guished. Being extinguished, he went away with indifference, and suddenly, hovering 
about, he entered a cloud. The giant, making grimaces, looked about, started up, and 
followed, and read a prayer, while the cloud became dusk as in twilight. Striving to 
grasp heayen and earth, cursing, not seeing the course of the sun, which was almost 
darkened. A fair one waved his sword, the wind blew, and the perspiration rose on his 
skin, and he began to faint. In the midst of the trees of the forest he lay exhausted, 
the cloud vanished, the sun and moon appeared, the mighty resolved in his mind to 
surround the giant, and looked towards him.”
