ศึกษาคติจักรพรรดิราชที่ปรากฏในศิลปกรรมสมัยรัตนโกสินทร์

              A study on the courses of existence of Cakkavattirāja as appeared in Fine Arts of Rattanakosin Period has three objectives: 1) to study the courses of existence of Cakkavattirāja  in Tipiṭaka and its development in the Commentaries, Mahāyana Buddhist scriptures and  later Pali litperiodtures, 2) to study the origin, concept and the courses of existence of Cakkavattirāja made use by leading people in the periods of Kings Rāma the 1^st -5^th, and 3) to study the courses of existence of Cakkavattirāja as appeared in various Fine Arts in the periods of Kings Rāma the 1^st -5^th. This research employed the documentary research methodology.

             The research results clearly showed that the courses of existence of Cakkavattirāja  appeared since the emergence of Aryan tribe who worshiped Indra God in order to become Cakkavattirāja which basically means a person who offers Cakka, that is power, pervading over through such given power In Buddhism, Cakkavattirāja offered Cakka, the power, where it pervades over through his virtues. In addition, Cakkavattirāja  possesses a specialty, seven majestic gems of Cakkavattirāja  and power which is beyond human abilities that ruled over four universal continents. Later on, on the one hand, in Mahayana Nikāya, there are many archetypal hiperiodrchical of Cakkavattirāja s, on the other hand, in Thperiodvada Nikāya there is a similarity in categorizing the Cakkavattirāja s to different archetypal hiperiodrchical since the discovery of Dĩpavaṁsa scripture. The kings and the aristocrats who believed in Lankāvaṁsa Buddhism were in Sri Lanka, Sukhothai, Lana and Ayutthaya until Rattanakosin period. The mentioned countries have used the moral virtues followed by Cakkavattirāja  through naming, behaviours, moral principles, litperiodtures and especially in architectures and fine arts.

              When it comes to the fine arts during the Rattanakosin period, since the King Rãma I - V, it discovered the Cakkavattirāja  concept in Crowned Buddhas images that refer to Bodhisattva kings and Dhamikarajā kings. Moreover, the Crowned Buddhas images also refer to Mahājambupati sutta. The paintings on the wall appeared to demonstrate the reference from the Mahājambupati sutta. The paintings under the theme of seven majestic gems of Cakkavattirāja s also found Mahāsudassana sutta, Mandhātujātaka, Kāliṁkabodhijātaka etc. The discovering of the fine arts regarding Cakkavattirāja s had been mostly found during the period of King Rāma III. In the period of King Rāma IV, the popularity had declined. Until the period of King Rāma IV the attention given to the fine arts were no longer available and disappeared in the period of King Rāma V.
