Yant Thao Wessuwan & Krabong (King Vessavana & The Celestial Mace)
Architectural and guardian yantra centered on the ritual mace (Krabong) of King Vessavana—Guardian of the Northern Quarter in the Atanatiya Sutta—inscribed with the four-syllable heart mantra 'We-Sa-Phu-Sa'.
Combines a diamond or lozenge frame (the shape of traditional Rian จำปี / Champaka-leaf coins) enclosing the four syllables 'We', 'Sa', 'Phu', 'Sa' at the cardinal points, flanked by the Five Celestial Weapons (Athawut 5 Prakan) and crowned by the Unalome of the Buddha.
Derived from the Digha Nikaya Atanatiya Sutta (DN 32), in which King Vessavana presents the protective paritta to the Buddha. Historically printed on white cloth talismans hung above infant cradles in Siam, and popularized in modern numismatics by Somdej Phra Sangharaja (Pae) of Wat Suthat and Luang Phor Ith of Wat Chulamanee (Samut Songkhram).
