The Architecture and Sculpture of Siam
The Buddha, going into trance, caused jets of flame to dart out
from his body. The whole land caught fire and the people were terrified.
As if removing a thorn from their flesh by means of another thorn,
he extinguished the flames of their passions by means of his own
miraculous flame. The people, thinking he must be the Sun-god
or the god of fire, fell down and worshipped him.
