Luang Prasoet Chronicle

In the year 951, the Year of the Ox (2132 BE),[1] rice was dear, being ten tamlueng per cartload. The seal of Phaya Narai was affixed for confirmation.[2] On Friday, the seventh waning-moon day of the second month,[3] the earth quaked.

In the year 952, the Year of the Tiger (2133 BE),[4] on Sunday, the thirteenth waning-moon day of the eighth month,[5] His Divine Highness the Royal Buddha, the Divine Senile Rajah,[6] entered nirvana.[7] On Tuesday, the second waning-moon day of the twelfth month,[8] the High Viceroy marched his hosts in by way of Kanchanaburi. On that occasion, the person of the ruler of Phasim[9] was captured in Chorakhe Sam Phan District.
