This edition was released after the passing of Luang Phu To, but is a very highly sought after amulet for its powerful Sacred powders, which include ashes and relics of the great Luang Phu To, and a large number of his most prized Pra Pid Ta 1st edition and Plod Nee Hlang Na amulets

The Pra Somdej Hwaek Man was made in 2534 BE, and later released, empowered and blessed on the 10th August 2535 BE in the Uposatha Shrine Room at Wat Pradoo Chimplee.

A host of the Greatest Guru masters of the time were present to perform Blessings and Empowerment, including the great Luang Por Pae (Wat Pikul Tong), Luang Por Hyord (Wat Gaew Jaroen), Somdej Prayan Sangworn Sangkaracha Monk (Wat Bovornives), Luang Por Phern (Wat Bang Pra), Luang Por Sorn (Wat San Jao) Luang Por Lek (Wat Nong Din Daeng), Luang Por Dee (Wat Pra Roop), Luang Por Mee (Wat Mara Wichai), Luang Por Chern (Wat Koke Tong), Pra Kroo Wirojana Kittikhun (successor and abbot after Luang Phu To, of Wat Pradoo Chimplee), Luang Por Uttama (Wat Wang Wiwekaram, and many others.

The amulet is renowned for its Kaa Khaay, Choke Lap and Metta Maha Niyom power, bringing lucky fortunes of prosperity, mercy charm and good business success.

The rear face features the Yant Na as is ubiquitous with many amulets of Luang Phu To, and the words 'Wat Pradoo Chimplee' underneath.

The front face of the amulet features the image of a Buddha seated on a 3 tiered Dais, within an arched palace, with hanging curtains parted above the Buddha. The top corners of the amulet's front face are decorated with Granok Lai Thai embellishments.

This particular exhibit is in absolutely Pristine Condition, with clear cut features and detailed relief, and is most definitely a very fine acquisition as a Sacred Votive Tablet of Pra Niyom Preferred Classic Category, that has been well looked after and maintained in its original state, and is a very well-kept amulet, that is worthy of competition entry for its fine features.

This edition, despite being a posthumous edition, is a very popular amulet with devotees of Luang Phu To, because of the high content of 1st edition Pra Pid Ta amulets which were ground down into the Muan Sarn Sacred Powders, along with a large number of Pra Pid Ta Plod Nee amulets.

Both the 1st edition Pra Pid Ta and the Plod Nee editions are now immensely rare and extremely expensively priced amulets, and compared to the much lower price range of the Pra Somdej Hwaek Man, many devotees find it a very affordable way to possess an amulet made using powders ground from the famous 1st edition and Plod Nee edition amulets, which were so very powerfully empowered from Luang Phu To.

A most highly sought after Pra Niyom Category Amulet, renowned for its rich concentrated powerful Muan Sarn, and the presence of the funeral ashes of Luang Phu To mixed into the Sacred Powders. A highly prized and jealously guarded amulet of the serious collector and devotee of Luang Phu To amulets.
