Phra Somdej Lang Sivalee Pim Lek

	This is the Pim Lek version of this very popular amulet. Luang Phor Kuay blessed a number of different types of Somdej amulet with Sivalee on the reverse, most made before BE 2525. It was recorded that Luang Phor Kuay had owned a book called “Kru Rang”, which was full of sacred spells. It was said that only monks or ascetics had sufficient sacred power to open and read the volume. Should it be opened by an ordinary person his life may be damned. It was known that the book contained many sacred spells, to dispel evil, protection from weapons, and a scared spell to call upon Mae Thorani, or the goddess of the earth. Luang Phor Kuay had learned all the sacred spells and also copied the book for other monks. Today several copies are kept at a number of temples. Apart from the book Luang Phor Kuay also learnt magic sciences from many other senior monks such as Luang Phor Puang of Wat Nong Kradone, Luang Phor Kun of Wat Khaokaew and Luang Phor Derm of Wat Nongpo, who it was said taught him about the sciences to create sacred knives and takruts. Moreover he also learnt ancient Thai medical sciences from Luang Phor Ken of Wat Dongsetti, Uthaitani Province, and in particular the science to help repair broken bones. Luang Phor Pumpum of Wat Nongtangoo, a friend of Luang Phor Kuay had said that Luang Phor Kuay was a true monk, who was never afraid of anything which resulted in him learning strong magic. Furthermore it was also said that Luang Phor Kuay had a magic mouth. If he made a prediction, in all likelihood it would be become true. (Note: Monks, who were known to possess a magic mouth must not tell lies, otherwise power would be nullified.)
