[Footnote 201:  See for these inscriptions papers on the Malay Peninsula and Siam by Finot and Lajonquiere in Bull. de la Comm.  Archeol. de l’Indo-Chine, 1909, 1910 and 1912.]

[Footnote 202:  Fournereau, pp. 157 ff. and Coedes in B.E.F.E.O. 1917, No. 2.  Besides the inscription itself, which is badly defaced in parts, we have (1) a similar inscription in Thai, which is not however a translation, (2) a modern Siamese translation, used by Schmitt but severely criticized by Coedes and Petithuguenin.]

[Footnote 203:  This portion of the narrative is found only in Schmitt’s version of the Siamese translation.  The part of the stone where it would have occurred is defaced.]

[Footnote 204:  See Fournereau, vol.  II. inscriptions xv and xvi and the account of the Jatakas, p. 43.]

[Footnote 205:  Fournereau, I. pp. 247, 273. B.E.F.E.O. 1917, No. 2, p. 29.]

[Footnote 206:  See the texts in B.E.F.E.O. l.c. The Bodhisattvas are described as Ariyametteyadinam dasannam Bodhisattanam.  The vow to become a Buddha should it seems be placed in the mouth of the King, not of the Metropolitan as in Schmitt’s translation.]

[Footnote 207:  See Fournereau, pp. 209 ff.  Dharmasokaraja may perhaps be the same as Mahadharmaraja who reigned 1388-1415.  But the word may also be a mere title applied to all kings of this dynasty, so that this may be another inscription of Sri Suryavamsa Rama.]

[Footnote 208:  1350 is the accepted date but M. Aymonier, J.A. 1903, pp. 185 ff. argues in favour of about 1460.  See Fournereau, Ancien Siam, p. 242, inscription of 1426 A.D. and p. 186, inscription of 1510 described as Groupe de Sajjanalaya et Sukhodaya.]

[Footnote 211:  But it was his son who first decreed in 1868 that no Siamese could be born a slave.  Slavery for debt, though illegal, is said not to be practically extinct.]

[Footnote 212:  = Culalankara.]

[Footnote 213:  The word has been derived from Vata, a grove, but may it not be the Pali Vatthu, Sanskrit Vastu, a site or building?]

[Footnote 214:  = Uposatha.]

[Footnote 215:  These finials are very common on the roof ends of Siamese temples and palaces.  It is strange that they also are found in conjunction with multiple roofs in Norwegian Churches of eleventh century.  See de Beylie, Architecture hindoue dans l’extreme Orient, pp. 47, 48.]

[Footnote 216:  The Buddha is generally known as Phra:  Khodom (=Gotama).]

[Footnote 217:  In an old Siamese bronze from Kampeng Pet, figured in Grunwedel’s Buddhist Art in India, p. 179, fig. 127, the Siro rot seems to be in process of evolution.]
