the historical facts regarding this new kingdom since
the foundation of the capital at Ayuddhya up to
A. D. 1604.
Besides this Pali annals, there is another history of
Ayulhia, namely, Phongsdvadan KrungKao, of which
two versions have come down to us. The first version
was translated by Taylor Jones in 1836-3810 the Chinese
Repository (V, VI, VII). The other one was com-
piled in 1840 during the reign of Phra: Xang Klao
by the Prince Paramanuxit Xinnorot and printed by
Bradley at Bangkok in 1865. This work served as
the basis of the history of several writers like Pallegoix
(Description du royanme Thai\ Bowring (Siam)
and Smith (History of Siam} Bangkok^ 1880-1882).
Unlike the Pali recension these are of phitsadan or
vistara type.
The Pali history is known as Sahgitivamsa, of
which another recension was completed in A. D.
1789. It differs from the earlier recension ofi6So.
In B. E. F. E-O (1914) M. G. Ccedes gives a part
translation of the Annals relating to the history of
Ayuthia. The Sahgitivamsa or Sahgttiyavarnsa was
composed in the year of Buddha 2332 in the month
of Citta ( = 27 March-io April 1789) by a monk
named Vimaladhamrna. In the introduction, he
says:—
