Background

In B.E. 2495 (1952), the revered monk Luang Pu Nak of Wat Rakang Kositaram Woramahaviharn, Bangkok, created the highly respected Phra Somdej 9 Chan Fang Tarkut Pim Yai. The amulet was intended to commemorate an auspicious temple occasion and to serve as a source of merit-making funds for the maintenance and restoration of Wat Rakang, one of Thailand’s most historically significant royal temples.

Luang Pu Nak was a well-known senior monk of the mid-20th century, respected for his mastery in Wicha Phra Somdej, sacred powder preparation, and precise consecration ceremonies. He followed in the spiritual lineage of Somdej Phra Puttajarn Toh (Somdej Toh), the original creator of the world-famous Phra Somdej amulets.

Name and Meaning

• Phra Somdej – Revered votive tablet representing the Buddha seated on a tiered throne, symbolizing enlightenment and spiritual attainment.

• 9 Chan – Refers to the nine layers or tiers of the throne, each tier representing progressive stages of Dhamma practice and merit accumulation.

• Fang Tarkut – “Embedded with Tarkut” (small rolled metallic scrolls inscribed with sacred yantra or mantras), believed to enhance the amulet’s protective and auspicious powers.

• Pim Yai – “Large mold,” indicating the amulet is from the larger master mold style.

• Nur Phong – Sacred powder material.

The combination of 9 Chan and Fang Tarkut symbolizes supreme blessings, protection, and the highest level of spiritual merit.

Material (Nur Phong)

The sacred powder used in this batch was prepared according to traditional formulas handed down from Somdej Toh’s era, including:

• Phong Bailan – Powdered burnt palm-leaf scriptures containing Dhamma texts.

• Phong Itthijae – Maharaj – Trinisinghe – Three major types of Buddhist yantra powders for protection, charm, and authority.

• Phong from broken ancient amulets from Wat Rakang and other historic temples.

• Sacred flower pollen from altar offerings.

• Holy water and relic dust from temple chedis.

This blend was mixed, kneaded, and pressed by hand into molds, then dried naturally.

Design and Features

• Front – Classic Somdej Buddha image seated in meditation upon nine-tiered throne, finely detailed in Pim Yai proportions.

• Back – Embedded Tarkut within the sacred powder for enhanced protective power. Tarkut positions may vary slightly between pieces, as each was embedded individually.

• Texture – Soft, fine-grained sacred powder with visible aged patina, often with natural shrinkage lines from decades of aging.

• Color – Off-white to light cream tones, with occasional dark speckles from Bailan powder.
