An Analysis of Literature appreciation in Prabarommathadkamkorn legend by Sanskrit Literature Theory

phatchara rujiranun — Thu, 22 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0700

This research aims to analyze the aesthetic expressions found in the local literature “The Legend of Prabarommathadkamkorn,” following the principles of Sanskrit literary theory, using a qualitative methodology that examines documents, books, and related research studies. The study reveals that the aesthetic of wonder, or Adbhutarasa, which is associated with feelings of astonishment and marvel, is the most prominent in the narrative, as the author seeks to imbue the Buddhist legend with a sense of sanctity and reverence. This is achieved through linking the stories of Princess Hemma Chala with Prince Than Tha Kumarn, his royal sibling, along with King Sri Thammasokarat and Princess Lued Kao, to supernatural phenomena such as the storm quelled by the miraculous powers of a Naga king, which eventually calms due to the Buddha’s relics’ sanctity. This event marks the inception of the construction of the Great Stupa – Nakhon Si Thammarat. By incorporating all nine aesthetic expressions into the legend, the author ensures its persistence in society and accentuates the significance of the Great Stupa - Nakhon Si Thammarat, making it stand out more prominently. The legend’s influence extends to the present era, fostering cultural tourism, as contemporary society leverages the legend to highlight the Great Stupa - Nakhon Si Thammarat as a key Buddhist pilgrimage site and cultural tourist destination.

This article aims to study the theory of the purpose of punishment in the perspective of Buddhist philosophy with the study method from related documents and research. The study results found that Buddhist philosophy supports the theory of punishment for rehabilitation rather than the theory of punishment for retribution. The supporting reasons are (1) Both perpetrators and victims share the exact Buddha nature that can develop themselves to be good people. (2) Greed, anger, and delusion often dominate humans. But humans can reduce their desires and set themselves to be good people. (3) The use of violence by the state cannot lead to solving the problem. However, using violence to solve problems will only create more problems, as mentioned in the Chakkawatti Sutta. (4) Punishment in the Sangha's Vinaya does not have physical punishment. But the Sangha's Vinaya emphasizes punishment to improve and provide education to offenders. And (5) Buddhist philosophy has the concept of rehabilitating serial killers, as shown in Angulimala Sutta. This suggestion of Buddhist philosophy can be applied to improve Thailand's punishment and justice system, which should give importance to restorative justice rather than retributive justice.
