acquired in her preceding generation by having made a statue of 
Buddha in pure gold, and for many other good works of the kind, 
the casting of the three statues might succeed to the wishes of the 
king her hushand. The efficacy of these vows, from the great 
merits of the queen, made themselves felt even to the abode of 
Phra: in (the god Indra) who speedily arrived to the assistance 
of the founders. These having recovered courage, aided by 
the power of Phra: in succeeded at last in casting the three 
statues such as had been desired by the king. Of these three 
statues, one received the name of Plira: xina: raxa, the other of 
phra: xina si, and the third of phra si sa sada. They were placed 
in the temples which had been destined for them in the midst of 
the city of Phi sa nulok. The king then built a palace in the 
western part of the town j then he sent for the princess Sun thon 
ihevi daughter of the king of Saxa na lai, whom he gave in mar¬ 
riage to his son Chao Kraison raxa, whom he lastly placed on the 
throne of Lopha buri. The king, the princes and the phaya then 
celebrated for seven days the dedication of the temples and of the 
phuth tha nip. Every thing being ended the king and his retinue 
took the road for his capital in the same order in which he had 
come.

character and could not endure to be surpassed by any one. He 
resided with his brother the king Phra: Chao Kraison. Raxa. 
He also built a town five leagues from Lopha buri, which he 
named Se na raxanakhom, and gave it for a king the prince Chao 
Huang Krieng Kri Saraxa.

of Xieng Rai to his son Chao Xati Sakhon, and died at the age of 
150 years on the 20th of the sixth month of the 1500th year of

this event to Chao Xati Sakhon at Xieng Rai, who came * to 
perform the obsequies of his father, and reign in his stead in the 
city of Xieng Sen. After this reign there were other seven
