Visit to Cambodia 195 in the front row which I do. Shortly thereafter a young man comes
and says"would you please change your seat?" which I do
willingly since I do not want to interfere with the arrangements
made by the organizers. The front row in the middle section was
meant for the dignitaries who were to be honoured by the Princess
on that occasion and my presence in that row was not in order.
As soon as the Princess occupied her seat she noticed me and
greeted me with folded hands. This transported me to a new world
of unbounded joy. I could not have wished for anything more.
The Princess whom people were bowing, was wishing me. The
ceremonial part over, the Princess went to the exhibition hall. I
followed her. When confronted, she again greeted me with folded
hands and told me that "she was telling the people that during
her trip to India she had visited ten Museums, two of them in
New Delhi, one the Archaeological Museum and the other the
State Museum (by this she meant the National Museum)". When
face to face again, she told me at my query that she would be
coming to India again in November this year to receive the Indira
Gandhi Prize for Peace and Development. At that time she would
spend a day or two in Delhi and would like to visit the places
which she had not visited so far. I suggest to her to visit Orissa
which would enable her to see the Golden Triangle, Bhubaneswar,
Puri and Konark. She smiles and says next time she would see
the Golden Triangle. After the Princess departs, Mrs. Amara takes
me to Mr. Cha Am in the National Library to collect the text of
the Sdok Kok Thom Sanskrit Inscription and to find out from him
about some other lengthy Sanskrit inscriptions of Thailand which
could provide me with sufficient material for the linguistic and
literary appraisal of Sanskrit inscriptions of Thailand which I like
to attempt in my paper that I intend to present at the forthcoming
Conference on "Sanskrit in Asia: Unity in Diversity" scheduled
for June 23-26, 2005. Mr. Cha Am says that Prasad Panom Rung
Sanskrit Inscription and the Sdok Kok Thom Sanskrit Inscription
are about the only lengthy Sanskrit inscriptions in Thailand. The
text of the Prasad Panom Rung Sanskrit Inscription I already have.
