Pra Putta Jao Pratap Sadtw Samati Khee Nok Thaan Khiang Sam Chan Pim Leuk (Buddha over Bird on 3 tiered Lotus Dais ) - Luang Por Parn - Wat Bang Nom Kho (Amper Sena, Ayuttaya)
Top preferred model 'Pra Niyom' amulet from the world famous pantheon of 'Buddha Riding Animals' amulets of Luang Por Parn's 2460 BE edition. The Bird riding Buddha amulet of Luang Por Parn, was released in about ten different Pim (at least those which are accepted as Pra Niyom preferred category amulets).The amulets of Luang Por Parn are found in various coloured clays ranging from beige, brown, yellowish-white, reddish brown and terracotta red, as well as dark gray/blackish color. The amulet has Pong Wised sacred powders inserted into the top within a hollow of the amulet.
This model is the Pim Khee Nok Pang Samati Thaan Khiang Pim Leuk, which is a Niyom Class extremely preferred model, and has all the classic features expected within its 'Dtamni' (recognition points). This exhibit is in completely pristine condition and perfect details and features, making it Ongk Kroo Niyom 'preferred teacher masterpiece'. By 'teacher' we mean that the amulet contains all the classic expected features found in a truly accepted Pra Luang Por Parn.
This exhibit can most certainly be used as a reference model for study and comparison to confirm authenticity in other similar exhibits (helps you learn how to recognise authentic amulets of the same series). The rear face of the amulet has the classic Yant Ma A U embossed on it, which represents the Buddha ("Ma" for 'Moo Maha Sangko', meaning the Dhamma, "A" for 'Arahang', meaning the Buddha, and "U" for 'Uttama Tammo', meaning the Dhamma'.
There were six different kinds of Animals in the Dtamra of the 'Pra Putta Jao Pratap Sadtw' series of amulets made by Luang Por Parn, which he made after miraculous encounter with the Chee Ba Khaw Apparition who taught him this Wicha. It is said in Legend, that if you pray to the amulet and chant the Kata of Luang Por Parn for 3 Years, that the Animal will come to life and leave the amulet.
Officially, the general public know the amulets of Luang Por Parn to have been made in these 6 different kinds of Pim 1. Pim Song Gai (Cockerel) 2. Pim Song Krut (Garuda) 3. Pim Song Hanuman 4. Pim Song Pla 5. Pim Song Men and 6. Pim Song Nok
But this basic pantheon of six models, can be broken down into subdivisions to make up to more than 80 different Pim Song variations of the 6 basic design models. The full pantheon of over 80 different variations has still not yet been officially documented completely in official catalogues, and remains a difficult job for authors to compile and complete.
But in recent years, some aficionados have managed to find, photograph and document most of the more than 80 Pim Song, and the official catalogue is becoming finally more complete. This of course reveals that many models have not fallen into the hands of the monopolists, and that this has reopened the possibility for devotees to find an authentic amulet of Luang Por Parn.
Some models are of course so rare, that they are hardly ever seen, and this is one of the main reasons why it has taken so long to document and confirm their existence. it has taken many decades of diligent search and find by the aficionados, to slowly gather and document all the different models. For example the Pim Song Pla Jeen (Chinese Fighting Fish), has to main versions, the PIm Yai (large) and Pim Lek (small), as well as the PIm Pla Hmoo, which is extremely rare.
The PIm Song Khee Nok model has been found and documented to exist in about 10 different Pim Song, eight of which can be seen featured in the below image;
Its marks of authenticity, apart from knowing how to recognise the ingredients of the Sacred Powders and Muan Sarn in the amulet, and the signs of aging, are various;
- The head of the bird is rounded, the tail of the bird contacts with the outer edge of the amulet, the beak is pointed and slightly curved downwards
- The three tiered Dais has a slightly angled side on the left side of the dais, whereas the right side is vertical and straight. the 'waterfall' lines between the Buddha and the 3 tiered dais have 12 lines.
- The "U' Khom Agkhara on the left side of the Buddha's shoulder (our right), looks like a question mark (?), and connects with the top of the Khom Letter "A" below it
- The "U" Khom Agkhara Lettering above the Buddha's right shoulder (our left), flows down to connect with the top of the Khom Agkhara Letter "Ma" below it.
- The Prages topknot is very slightly tilted, and has a horizontal 'parasol shape' above the head of the Buddha.
This particular model is in a reddish-beige colored clay (classic), and possesses all the classic features of the 'Dtamni' (Athentication Marks) for classifying itself as a true prefferred class of Pim Niyom Amulet by Luang Por Parn, and is hence possible for entry into competition with confidence of a prize. Its clear cut refined details make it an easy amulet to recognise with little need of intensive scrutiny.
These days, few people can find themselves honored to have the chance to encounter such an amulet to possess for their own collection, for which reason this amulet needs no explanation as to why this is a most desirable acquisition to have in one's personal museum collection, and even more so, to be able to wear it and be under its protective inifluence and recieve its blessings.
A truly world famous classic amulet of the highest class and category, which anybody from the poor man to the millionaire will wear with pride and confidence of its magical powers. Who indeed does not wish to have a Luang Por Parn Wat Bang Nom Kho Buddha Amulet on their pendant chain around their neck?

Luang Por Parn Sunantoe's real Ordained Monk name was Pra Kroo Wiharagijjanugarn. He was born in 1875 (BE 2418.) , the youngest son of Mr. Aaj and Mrs. Im Sutawongs. During his younger age, he received the a nickname of " Parn " , because of a red Birthmark on the little finger of his left hand, which was seen as an unusual trait mark that linked with Buddhism.
Luang Por Parn received his Ordination as a Bikkhu (Buddhist Monk) on the First of April 1895 (BE 2438).
Luang Por Parn is worshiped as one of the Top 10 Greatest Guru Monks of present-day in Thailand & many worshippers all around the world. He was the closest disciple of Luang Por Niam Wat Noi, Suphanburi, and also a disciple of Luang Por Hnoeng, of Wat Klong Madarn. His two great teachers passed away with their bodies un-decayed.

When Luang Por Parn passed away in B.E.2480, his body was also un-decayed similar to his Guru teachers.

In 1932, five years before he passed away, he announced to all his disciples the date and time of his death. His precognition was quite clear and exactly correct; he passed away on the date and time he had preannounced. Luang Por Parn was a meditative Guru Monk and also possessed magical knowledge. During Buddhist Dhamma, it was recorded that he reached the “ Great six knowledge of miracles ”. So he possesses knowledge on precognition, out-of-body ability, mind detecting, ability to do comprehensive paranormal phenomenal feats of magical prowess.
He was of course famous for the Wicha of the Yant Grao Paetch Diamond Armour Yantra Spell, and for the Kata which many International Devotees have come to know as the 'Rich Kata'. It is said that this Kata can make you immensely wealthy as a Millionaire if chanted constantly and regularly without fail.
The legends of the powers of his Yant Grao Paetch spell are known by devotees around the world to be perhaps the most powerful Invincibility Spell of all, as well as providing an extensive set of Buddhist Blessings for Luck, Karma Improvement, Prosperity, Protection against all Ailments and Dangers, and of course for Wealthy Fortunes.
Apart from this, he also possesses the highest state of “ Vipassana ” or knowledge of mind cleaning to stop next rebirth (Reincarnation).

Many great Guru Monks in Thailand hinted their Dhamma levels to their disciples in such way.

And it's great for making holy water for healing illness that modern physician not able to diagnose & cure. Luang Por Parn'samulets are extremely unique withBuddha sitting on a Garuda, Hanuman, Porcupine, Fish, Cockerel, and Bird.
Once Luang Por Parn told his disciples that his amulets had been blessed for a period of three months, it's long time more than enough to charge Buddha's power into amulets capable of warding off dangers of all kinds. He said that if they were blessed for 3 years, the Garuda and the Bird on the amulet would fly out. (A real life news reporting of bird image flew out from the amulet was published in a Malaysia Chinese newspaper; A shop’s CCTV of the amulet’s owner recorded the “ flying bird ” flying around his shop and flew back into the drawer where the amulet was kept.)
Luang Por Parn's amulets are very popular among Thai amulets users and collectors because of their frequent miraculous phenomena both recorded and unrecorded.
