4. Phra Lersi Narod (also Phra Lersi Naratha):
Phra Lersi Narod is one of the 10 inventor hermits who invented Gourd Lute (Pin Namtow). He practiced as a hermit at Mount Solot, out of Longka City in "Ramayana" where Thodsakan (a foe of Rama with 10 faces and 10 arms) lives. At that time Hanuman (monkey god who loyally devotes to Rama) gave a ring to Nang Sida (a beloved lady of Rama) and flew farther than Longka City. Hanuman saw Phra Lersi Narod and had battle with him. Hanuman was lost to Phra Lersi Narod. And when Hanuman burnt Longka City, his tail got the fire that he couldn't extinguish. Hanuman went to Phra Lersi Narod to help and then fire disappeared.
Phra Lersi Narod is the teacher for all Lersi. He was born from the fifth head of Brahma. Dedicated himself to being a hermit and the first hermit in Traiphum (3 worlds: Sensuous World, Form World, Formless World). In every ritual ceremony, if not inviting Phra Lersi Narod, that event will not be fully complete.
Phra Lersi Narod is also the best doctor and the one who makes holy water most excellently. He has got a long beard and holds a lotus in his hand. In front of him is a bowl of holy water. He can cure people's illness efficaciously. That is why some people pray to Phra Lersi Narod for help when they are ill.
5. Phra Lersi Phromparamet:
Phra Lersi Phromparamet is another hermit who succeeded in practice, having much power not less than other hermits. He is full of mercy, but stern and speaks loud voice. He has got four faces and eight arms. His face is green and body is big.
Phra Lersi Phromparamet is full of magic. He can build anything he wants. One day he had an idea of making something fun, so he built a "prawn" by his magic that is food for humans.
Phra Lersi Phromparamet is not too stern like someone thinks. Actually, he is very kind and likes to help people. So if you would like him to help, try lighting a joss stick and making a wish to him. And then you may succeed in what you wish.
