Phongsawadan (English spelling)

Japanese: ポンサーワダン(英語表記)phongsawadan
Phongsawadan (English spelling)
A type of historical text written in Thai, meaning "royal history." When referring to the narrower definition of "royal chronicle," it is often called "Phrāracha Pongsāvadān." While another type of historical text written in Pāli or Thai, "Tamnan," is written within the framework of Buddhist history, "Pongsāvadān" is characterized by always writing in Thai about the king's achievements, focusing on the genealogy of the royal line. Since the contents are often revised when the royal family changes, critical use is required.

Japanese:
タイ語による史書の一種で,〈王統史〉の意。狭義の〈王朝年代記〉を指す場合には〈プララーチャ・ポンサーワダン〉と呼ばれることが多い。もう一種のパーリ語ないしタイ語の史書である《タムナーンtamnan》が仏教史の枠組で歴史叙述を行うのに対し,〈ポンサーワダン〉は王統の系譜を中心に国王の治績を,かならずタイ語をもって叙述するのを特徴とする。王家の交代などに際し,しばしば内容の修正が加えられることがあるため,批判的利用が必要である。
