Introduction

The Phra Somdej 9 Chan Fang Tarkuts (BE2500) from Wat Rakang Kositaram, associated with Luang Pu Nak, is admired for two things collectors immediately recognize: the deep, mature tone of Nur Phong Dam (sacred black powder) and the rare, highly sought-after feature of embedded Takrut (known as Fang Takrut). In Somdej collecting, this combination is often treated as “function + lineage” in one piece — the prestige of Wat Rakang paired with a tangible protective format.

Background & Purpose of Creation

In BE2500, many temples issued batches intended to restore confidence and stability for devotees — spiritually and practically. Wat Rakang, long linked to the Somdej heritage of Somdej Phra Buddhacarya (Toh Prommarangsri), remained a key reference point for Bangkok Somdej culture. This 9-tier format was created to be worn as a reminder of disciplined practice and to support devotees with protection in daily life.

  • To provide a protective Somdej for uncertain times — daily safety, travel, and avoidance of misfortune.
  • To reinforce faith through a serious ritual-made powder amulet tradition.
  • To support temple activities and community needs through a respected Wat Rakang release.

Sacred Materials: Nur Phong Dam

The identity of this batch is strongly tied to Nur Phong Dam — a black sacred powder mixture traditionally described as including sanctified powders and ritual remnants. Collectors often associate the darker tone with a “grounded” protective feel, and devotees commonly interpret it as supportive against negativity and harmful influences.

  • Sacred powders linked to earlier Wat Rakang Somdej traditions.
  • Phong Itthijae, Pattamang, Maharach — powders classically associated with erased Buddhist texts and blessing preparation.
  • Ash and residue from incense/candles used in chanting and temple rites.
  • Herbal remnants, bai lan (palm-leaf) elements, and older sacred fragments preserved for continuity.

Unique Feature: Fang Takrut (Embedded Takrut)

What elevates this piece beyond a standard 9-tier Somdej is the embedded Takrut — small metallic scrolls (often lead or silver-toned foil) inscribed with yantra lines and placed inside the amulet body. In collector language, this is a “high-intent feature”: it’s not decorative — it’s meant to function.

  • Klaew Klaad — safe passage, avoidance of accidents and danger.
  • Kongkraphan — resilience, toughness, protective strength.
  • Metta Mahaniyom — goodwill, support from people, smoother negotiations.

Consecration & Spiritual Empowerment

The batch is traditionally associated with a Putthaphisek-style blessing within the Wat Rakang environment, with Luang Pu Nak presiding. In Thai amulet culture, this matters because Somdej is not only about the mold — it is about the rhythm of chanting, meditation, and the moral discipline behind the making.

  • Extended chanting of protective paritta such as Itipiso and commonly recited katha traditions.
  • Continuous meditation and focused recitation led by the presiding master.
  • Collective monk participation to “seal” the batch with long-lasting protective intention.

Recognizable Characteristics (Pim / Format)

  • Type: Phra Somdej with 9-tier base (9 Chan).
  • Material tone: distinct black/dark powder body with natural specks and age character.
  • Embedded Takrut: typically 1–3 scrolls; may be visible at the rear or base depending on placement.
  • Presence: “dense and settled” look when the surface is natural and not overly cleaned.
  • Size: standard Somdej dimensions (varies by molding and shrinkage).

Traditional Spiritual Significance

Devotees prize this piece for the combined logic of Somdej lineage + Takrut function: protection (daily safety), calm authority (better decisions under pressure), and metta (social smoothness). For many, it’s also an “anchoring” Somdej — worn when responsibilities increase, travel becomes frequent, or life feels unpredictable.

Collector Note (DD-Pra Certificate): This listing includes a DD-Pra certificate, supporting the identification of the piece within Thai collector circles. As with all vintage Somdej, collectors still compare mold structure, powder texture, aging, and Takrut placement — the certificate strengthens confidence, while physical study completes the picture.
