The second part of the poem, attributed to King Narai, can be divided into two main parts, the pitthayathorns. With the description of the hermit’s kudi, the lexicon and syntax become noticeably more difficult. Even assuming that the lexicon would be familiar to a seventeenth-century audience, the parataxis and the variations in the syntactic patterns make interpretation much more difficult. Emphasis is now upon description rather than or narrative. Concommitant with this new emphasis is an increase in internal rhyme patterns, seemingly a new emphasis upon sound over content. The battle of the pitthayathorns reflects a return to the narrative, but even parts of this sequence seem to be much more concerned with sound.
