The Bodhisattva was born in the womb of the Peacock. who live in the forest at the border of Varanasi When the Bodhisattva came out of the egg Their skin and feathers are shiny, golden, and have characteristics that are superior to all birds. when growing up became the lord of all peacocks One day the golden peacock went to drink in a pond. see their shadow in the water So he realized that this person is more beautiful than all the peacocks. may bring danger to the group for himself Looks like we have to stay away from the crowd. go find a new address must have to go as far as the Himmapan Forest, so we will be out of danger.
Phaya Yungthong already thought so. So he flew out with might. Soon we reached the Himmapan Forest. in search of a cave It is located on a steep hilltop at the Himmapan Forest. living Chaiyaphum is suitable and safe from all evil creatures the next day The Bodhisattva then came out of the booth. fly to the top of the mountain facing the eastern direction (East) and look at the sun in the morning along with recitation of Phra Paritt which begins with the word Utetaya, Chakuma Ekaracha, etc., to protect themselves during the daytime and then went out in search of food when it’s evening When he flew back to his residence, the Golden Peacock did not forget to fly up and catch him on the top of the mountain. facing west look up at the setting sun and recited the mantra of Phra Parittara saying: Apetaya Chakuma Eka Raja, etc. in order to protect Keep yourself up all night and then flew back to him. live in caves all day early morning of the new day
Phaya Yungthong does this every day without fail. ready to be firmly established in bliss without any misfortune So much so. Later on, there was a ranger who wandered into the forest until he saw him. Phaya Yung Thong, perched on the top of the mountain but did nothing because they are only worried about finding a way out of the forest until that hunter finds his way back to his home He didn’t tell me what he had seen. Who is the golden peacock to whom? until the time the hunter was near death So he told the story of Phaya Yung Thong to his children. and ordered that this news should be brought to the King to let him know Order and die
Later, the wife of Lord Varanasi gave a vision saying: while she was in the royal park Residing at the edge of the Pathumchat pond There was a golden peacock flying from Udon. and landed on a large log Then the golden peacock gave a speech Teach the Dharma to her. Later, Phra Devi continued to dream that When Phaya Yungthong had finished preaching the Dharma That golden peacock will fly back. In a dream, the queen shouted to her attendants that Help catch the peacock Help catch the peacock She shouted until she woke up and fell asleep. therefore pretending to be sick with pregnancy symptoms and asked the Lord, saying: This morning sickness will be cured. also had the opportunity to see Phaya Yung Thong and listen to the dharma that the golden peacock shows

King Brahmadatta mourns his love His Highness was the greatest. therefore he thought that Our consort must die at an untimely age. The reason is probably from that golden peacock. We are now very old. He probably won’t have a chance to see any hunter catch that golden peacock. Well, then we’ll pay homage to this peacock. So he had already made up his mind. King Brahmadatta ordered the goldsmith The message was engraved saying that if anyone, who eats the flesh of the Golden Peacock who lives in the Himmapan Forest, will live long, not old, or die in a gold leaf and keep it in the royal treasury.
Shortly after, King Brahmadatta It’s time to go down. the inscription gold plate It fell into the hands of the next young king.
