About Sricandradhipati
Sricandradhipati (, ), also known as Phra Ruang II , is a legendary monarch mentioned in the Legend of Phra Ruang. He was subsequently offered the throne of Sukhothai in 1502 BE (959 CE).
The legend recounts that while residing in Lavo, at the age of 11, Ruang was assigned the duty of collecting tribute for submission to Indaprasthanagara, However, when the king of Indapraá¹£á¹hanagara, potentially Sindhob Amarin, ordered his arrest, Ruang fled—first to Phichit and subsequently to Sukhothai—where he entered the Buddhist monastic order. In 959 CE, following the death of the reigning monarch of Sukhothai, who left no direct heir, the local populace invited Phra Ruang to leave the monkhood and he ascended the throne under the regnal title Sricandradhipati. and Ayodhya. However, the narrative preserved in this tradition exhibits internal chronological inconsistencies, as the text asserts that the buddha image of Sihinga was brought to Sukhothai by Sunaraá¹…ga, a period during which Sukhothai was demonstrably under the rule of Loe Thai.
No extant contemporary source explicitly identifies his immediate successor, and the chronicle merely states that he died at the age of 102.
