Sketch of a
dragon,
i.e. the fifth animal of the
Chinese Zodiac.
The sketch is from
the hand of Princess
Maha
Chakri
Sirindhorn,
and depicts a
dragon and a
scorpion.
Underneath the sketch is a verse from the
Lokanit,
a poem
about the truth of the world and
the truth of life, which reads: nakih mih phit phiang suriyo leua bo tham
decho chaen chah phit noi ying yosoh malaeng pong choo tae hahng eng ha oad
ahng ritthih
 (นาคีมีพิษเพี้ยง
สุริโย เลื้อยบ่ทำเดโช แช่มช้า พิษน้อยหยิ่งโยโส แมลงป่อง ชูแต่หางเองอ้า
อวดอ้างฤทธี), i.e. ‘Nakee has venom that's potent, Suriyo,
Crawling without causing warmth; it soaks slowly. Arrogant little poison,
scorpion,
raising only its tail, boasting its might’. |
