Sòng Phutthahup means the rewards derived from making the Buddha statue and donated it to the monastery. On one occasion, the Buddha was staying in the Jetavana monastery of Savatti. One day, King Pasenadi went to pay homage to the Buddha. When the Buddha announced he would leave for three month in Tavatimsa heaven, the king then asked permission to make an image of him. On being granted permission, the king had a statue carved using sandalwood of the Buddha in the sitting position. It looked exactly like Buddha and it was housed in the place. Upon Lord Buddha’s return from Tavatimsa heaven, he was invited by the king to look at the sandalwood image. When the Buddha arrived the image started to move from the seat and was about to pay homage when the Buddha raised his left hand to stop the figure, saying “You will remain seated”. After that, the Lord Buddha preached a sermon about the merit gained by making Buddha images. Colophons: (1) Folio 12 on the verso side: Sathu (Monk) Phomma is the one who continue to inscribe this manuscript, on the eighth day of the waxing moon of the first lunar month, Thursday, BE 2491, a poek chai year. Amen, amen! [may I attain] arahantaship certainly. [Vat] Dònlòm. (2) Folio 22 on the recto side: Auspecious time, auspicious blessing, Maha Chunlasangkat (CS) 1282, the fifth day of the waxing moon of the twelfth lunar month, the first day of the week (Sunday), a poek san day. [The writing was accomplished] at the time of kòng ngai (between 7.30-9.00 o'clock). Chao (Princess) Khamkham from the royal palace had the ardent religious faith in the Teachings of the Buddha, along with her relatives sponsored the making of this manuscript [entitled] Sòng pho, in order to dedicate this merit to my late husband named Surivong who already died to the other world. May the results of this merit support and move him to a happiness place, may this merit be a golden and magical castle for him immediately. Amen, amen!.
