This is a rare LP Koon's Pidta YantYoong, MahaLapho KoonLarp, Ut Takrut and Tianchai made and blessed by LP Koon, Wat Banrai, Nakonratchasima (Korat), in B.E.2536. The Pidta's content is of bronze-based alloy of Navaloha.

The Pidtas of this content were specially made and called Phim Kammakarn or Committee mold, the commitee means the temple's patronage persons who supported the construction and renovation projects of the temple.     

The word YantYoong  = labyrinthine designs of Khom scripts on the Pidta's reverse side

MahaLapho KoonLarp =  "Multiplied Great Fortune"; Koon (LP Koon's name) means multiply, multiplication, Larp = fortune.

Ut Takrut  = Takrut inserted; Ut = to plug, to insert

TianChai =  efficacious & victorious candle wax from the blessing ceremony

Navaloha = holy bronze-based alloy of metal of nine kinds; Nava = nine, Loha = metal  

The Pidta's bottom-based hole was inserted with a gold Takrut, and a piece of TianChai was also filled in. At the Pidta's chest was chopped with Khom script code "Na".  

The Pidta has comprehensive properties for wealth & fortune, Metta, KlaewKlaad, and KongKraphanChatri.

LP Koon has finished his holy Visha on Takrut-making for invincibiility. During the Vietnam War was still persisting in early 2510s, lots of American soldiers in Udon and Korat airbases went to pay respect to LP Koon requesting to have Takruts inserted into their bodies. After LP Koon chanted his Katha for a few minutes, one or more Takruts would be miraculously forced into a soldier's arm.

A large pile of silver Takruts for invincibility, life protection, and wealth & fortune were inscribed by LP Koon himself and mixedly melted to make the Pidtas of this batch. 

LP Koon was born in B.E.2466 and ordained for monkhood in B.E.2487. He  is now 86 years of age and still be the Abbot of Wat Banrai.
Vocab:
Phim  =  mold
KlaewKlaad  =  life safty, free from all harms
KongKraphanChatri  = invincibility
Visha  = incantation knowledge
