The Birth of Anomatan

Family Tree Heirarchies and Lineages of the Human, Vanora (Simian), and Yaksa (Giants) races.

After disposing of the Demon Yaksa "Hirantayaksa, Phra Narayn rode off on the back of a Naga serpent. He rode across a Vast Ocean, whilst casting a spell with a loud shout. As he cast his spells, a lotus flower sprung out of Phra Narayn's stomach, and opened to greet the sun. Not only this; a small Kumara (boy), was also born in the middle of the Lotus Flower.

Phra Narayn thus took the Kumara to Phra isworn, and offered it to him in reverence. Phra Isworn saw fit to comission Phra Intr (Indra), to design and build a City for the young Kumara to rule over. As Phra Intr was researching places to build  the City, he travelled to earth, and came across four Ruesi hermit Sages, who were practising their abstinences and meditations in the forest. This forest was called "Twaaraawadii".

The Ruesi Sages suggested that this was a good place to build the City for the Kumara, and that it would be a great blessing to name the city after the four Ruesi - taking one syllable from the name of each of the four;

This is how the City came to be named "Ayodhaya Twaaraawaradii" (see my ruesi legends to see the names of the four Ruesi). The town of Ayuttaya in Thailand is named after Ayodhaya.

When the City was sucessfully constructed and completed, Phra Intr informed Phra Isworn of the good news. Phra Isworn then instructed Kumara to go forth and rule the City of Ayodhaya, and bestowed upon him the name of "Anomatan" After this, Phra Intr arranged for a Royal Consort/Concubine for Lord Anomatan, whose name was Nang Mani Gaesorn, as well as conjuring servants and citizens for Anomatan to rule over, and fill the City. After this, Nang Mani Gaesorn gave birth to a Son, named "Taw Achaban" (ท้าวอัชบาล). The Lord Anomatan and his Queen Nang Mani Gaesorn then gave up their Rulership of the Kingsom and left it to Taw Achaban to Inherit and Rule over instead.

Hirantayaksa

Hirantayaksa rolls up the Earth หิรันตยักษ์ม้วนแผ่นดิน

Hirantayaks rolls up the earth and puts it under his arm. Locked in his armpit, he takes it to "Mueang Badan" (เมืองบาดาล the Underworld), and attempts to do away with it forever, leaving the Humans with no place to reside.

There was once a Yaksa called "Hirantayaks"; he lived on the Mount "Jagrawala" (jakrawal means "Universe, in Thai and Pali). He was an extremely powerful Yaksa, due to him receiving a blessing from Phra Isworn (Shiva), and was the fear of all the Ruesi and Devas. One day, Hirantayaks was feeling especially Malevolent and Destructive, and decided he wanted to attack the world and make it break and fall to pieces; So he rolled up the surface of the Earth, and put it under his arm, taking it to the hidden Underworld of Mueang Badan. When the Devas witnessed Hirantayaksa's evil doings, they rushed to see Phra Isworn, and begged him to help in his Mercy.
"Lord Shiva! Hirantayaksa is doing evil deeds and destroying the world and the people in it! please help them good Lord!!"

Phra Isworn looked down from the Heavens and saw Hirantayaks - and thought to himself; "Look at you Hirantayaksa.. why do you turn to such Evil deeds?" "You have broken your promise not to bother the world with the powers i gave you - for this i shall not spare you." So Phra Isworn called upon Phra Narayn (Vishnu) to Avatar into the world and destroy Hirantayaks.

Phra Narayn obeyed Phra Isworn's request immediately, and journeyed straight to the Underworld as soon as he heard of Phra Isworn's request. On arrival in the Underworld, Phra Narayn saw Hirantayaks holding the rolled up surface of the earth nipped in his armpit, and Phra Narayn mutated into a white Wild Boar, with fur like cotton wool, and diamond tusks.

 He charged straight into Hirantayaksa and started scewering him with his sharp diamond tusks, and biting him with his sharp teeth. Hirantayaks didn't know that this was Phra Narayn in disguise, and began to fight back with all his strength. Phra Narayn increased his attack and consequently bit so much that Hirantayaksa's head was completely severed, and death fell upon him. The wild boar (Hmoo Phra Narayn หมูพระนารายณ์) returned the Earth back to it's rightful place and laid it out as before.

This is one of the many legends that come in the sequence before Ramayana starts, and is part of the Hindu Vedas.
