- Title:
- Mantra [c18th century]
- Scope & Content:
- This manuscript contains allusions of a priest to God identifying himself as the son of God. There is further mention of the different times of the day in which the priests are able to use and demonstrate their knowledge, nv sai meaning ‘all the morning’ ting khvn ‘middle of the night’ and na kai ting khvn ‘the time that the cock crows in the dark of the night’.This is a book of prayers, containing at least two texts. The first one runs from folio 1r to 4r (images 0001 to 0007) and the second one commences on folio 4v (image 0008), commencing with the words ne him chau nv ru chau kau vi. It appears that the text up to 4r is in the voice of the priestly castes Mohan and Bailung. Folio 8r line 4, and again from Folio 12v contains some information about stars, and the names of some stars/constellations. Folio 8r line 4 and 8v were read by Chaichuen Khamdaengyodtai as aho_20130209_01_PG_H1_Chaichuen_DulenPhukanMantra.wav
