Word-by-Word Pali & Heart Syllable (Hua Jai / หัวใจคาถา) BreakdownPADAVIBHĀGA GLOSSARY

Om Sri Ganesaya Namaha

Reverent salutation to Sri Ganesha (Ganapati, patron of learning, craftsmanship, and arts)

Ongkan Pinthunathang Uppannang

Arising from the sacred syllable and primordial point (Bindu) in the Siamese Wai Khru treatise

Panca-Padumang Disva Namo Putthaya Wandanang

Beholding the five lotus blossoms of the Bhaddakappa (the Five Buddhas: Namo Putthaya)

01Literal Translation (EN)

Pairs the Sanskrit root mantra Om Sri Ganesaya Namaha with the classic Siamese Buddhist-Brahmin Wai Khru stanza Ongkan Pinthunathang Uppannang, which harmonizes the Hindu-Brahmanical patron of literature and sculpture with the Theravada cosmology of the Five Lotus Blossoms (Panca-Padumang / Namo Putthaya).

02Deeper Doctrinal, Philosophical & Meditative Exegesis (EN)

Since King Rama VI established Phra Phikanet as the emblem of the Royal Literature Club (Wannakhadi Samosorn) and later the Fine Arts Department (Krom Silpakorn), Thai Phra Phikanet medallions (such as the landmark BE 2483 Krom Silpakorn and Wat Suthat castings) have been consecrated in joint Phutthaphisek-Thewaphisek ceremonies using this exact hybrid Sanskrit-Pali verse.
