Pattasucarāja (Thai: พัตตาสุจราช) is identified in the Northern Chronicle as a 12th-century monarch who ruled Mueang Chaliang.[1]: 65  Although the chronicle does not specify the circumstances or chronology of his accession, the passage concerning him follows that of Uthong I,[1]: 65–6  who is described as having migrated southward in 1156/57 from Mueang Chaliang, together with his elder brother Pra Poa Noome Thele Seri of Sukhothai–Nakhon Thai,[1]: 60–1  and as having assumed the vacant throne at Suphannaphum in 1163,[1]: 60–1 [2]: 46  while Pra Poa Noome Thele Seri is creditted with the re-foundation of Phrip Phri in 1188.[2]: 46 

Pattasucarāja is recorded as having two sons: the elder, Dharmatriloka, and the younger, Baramatriloka.[1]: 65  Dharmatriloka succeeded his father upon his death and is further recorded as having three sons, the two of whom subsequently married a princess of Ayodhya; both sons later ascended the throne of Ayodhya in succession,[1]: 69–70  first the elder and subsequently the younger, following their father-in-law, Suvarnaraja.[3] Meanwhile, Pattasucaraja's younger prince, Baramatriloka, is recorded in the Ayutthaya Testimonies as having established himself as the ruler of Mueang Sing within a political framework associated with the line of Ekarāja (เอกราชา), who had replaced the pre-existing dynasty. Baramatriloka was subsequently succeeded by two consecutive monarchs, the last of whom, Jatirāja (ชาติราชา), was in turn succeeded by his relative Pra Poa Noome Thele Seri[2]: 45–6   in or around the 1160s–1180s.[4]: 127 

Although the chronicle does not explicitly attest to Pattasucarāja’s ancestry, it notes that his son, Dharmatriloka, was related to the ruler of Oghapurī (โอฆะบุรี; modern Phichit),[1]: 65–6  a polity said to have been established in the 8th century by a descendant of Padumasūriyavaṃśa,[2]: 11  who was also the ancestor of the brothers Uthong I and Pra Poa Noome Thele Seri.
