Council of Vanora Hanuman

War Council of Phra Ram and the Wanora.
A council hearing was called between Phra Ram, and the monkey soldiers.
Phra Ram asked Sukreep for advice, to which Sukreep that the army should be sent to encamp at Mount Kanthamat, whilst the 3 bravest and able soldiers would do reconnaissance to find the Lady Siidaa without making the approach of Phra Ram's army of Wanora (monkeys) evident.



The three soldiers chosen to go were of course, Hanuman Ongkot and Chompupan. In order to make Naang Siidaa believe they were truly servants of Phra Ram, Siidaa's shawl and famous magical Molee ring of Phra Isworn was given to Hanuman to show to her when he appeared to tell her that Phra Ram was on his way to rescue her. Hanuman, however, insisted that this might not be enough to convince Siidaa that he was a true servant of Phra Ram, due to the fact that the ring and shawl could be something he found in the forest.
Hanuman explained that anyone could have found the dropped items and posed as a friend of Phra Ram in order to dupe Lady Siidaa, and suggested sharing a secret that only Phra Ram and Naang Siidaa could ever know about.




So Phra Ram told Hanuman the story that only Himself and Siidaa could know about - the time when Phra Ram came to contest for the hand of Siidaa in the Molee Bow lifting ceremony, and they cuaght their eyes when Siidaa was looking out of the window as Phra Ram approached the city, and they fell in love instantly. Hanuman was told to tell her this story when he found her.

The Royal Poem from picture number 29 of the wall paintings in the Royal Palace chapel of the Emerald Buddha;

ซึ่งจะเจรจาปรีชาชาญ เห็นแต่หนุมานผู้ฤธี
กับชมพูพานรินทร์ องคตหลานอินทร์เรืองศรี
ทั้งสามแต่ล้วนตัวดี นอกนี้ไม่เห็นผู้ใด
ถึงพบยักษ์มารจะราญรอน ทีหักทีอ่อนก็ทำได้
ขอให้สามนายนี้ไป เฝ้าองค์อรไทในเมืองยักษ์
