Comments: Yant Kropetch is written in ancient Khmer script and is a set of verses which Buddhists recite to reflect upon the qualities of the Buddha.  Luang Phor Parn of Wat Bang Nom Kho, Ayuthaya province, discovered the yantra in B.E. 2458 (1915) while he was making a pilgrimage to Suphanburi province, Thailand. 

Shortly before he found this great yantra, he was meditating and an intuition arose in his mind that there was a very important plate buried in the main chedi of Wat Phra Sri Ratana Maha Dhat, Suphanburi province, waiting for him to recover.   Not long after that; he arrived at the chedi and found an ancient silver plate inscribed with the above yantra. The plate also states that for one who recites these verses everyday, his/her body will be covered with a “Diamond Shield” and will be safe from all dangers.  The person will never be destroyed by his/her enemies.  However, the enemy will be destroyed by some strange phenomena because of the reflective result from the powers of the “Diamond Shield”. 

The romanised Pali version of the yantra is:

I Ra Sha Kha Ta Ra Sa - Ti Hang Ja To Lo Dhi Nang - Pi Sam Ra Lo Pu Sat Budh - So Ma Na Ka Ris Dha Dho - Bha Sam Sam Wi Sa Dhe Bha - Kha Budh Pan Dhu Dham Wa Kha - Wa Dho No A Ma Ma Wa - A Wish Su Nut Sa Nus Ti
