01Literal Translation (MS)
Bacaan Pali memperingati penghormatan Brahma Sahampati kepada Lima Teratai (Lima Buddha).
02Deeper Doctrinal, Philosophical & Meditative Exegesis (MS)
This Pali verse explicitly situates Phra Phrom within orthodox Theravada cosmology rather than purely secular myth: it invokes Brahmā Sahampati (who in the Ayacana Sutta, SN 6.1, descended from the Brahma realm to entreat the newly awakened Buddha to teach the Dhamma) beholding the Five Lotuses (Pañcapadumaṃ) that bloomed at the dawn of the Bhadrakalpa to herald the Five Buddhas (Namo Buddhāya).
Its 4 faces correspond to the Four Sublime Attitudes (Brahmavihāra: Mettā, Karuṇā, Muditā, Upekkhā).
