LP Derm (B.E.2403~2494) was known to have kept many elephants. He cast a spell on every elephant's legs and sometimes fed them with blessed grass. LP Derm was often invited to many temples to preside over the ordain ceremony. When he was getting old, he reached the destination temples by elephants. All his elephants were very tamed. After reaching the temple, LP Derm just let the elephant go freely to feed by itself in the nearby area. Amazingly, when the ceremony going to end with some chanting chapter, the elephants would go back by itself and kneeled down in front of the Bosth to pick him up and bring him back to Wat NongPho. LP Derm loved all of his elephants. He had special knowledges (Yana) to detect elephants' mind and to communicate with them. When LP Derm passed away, his elephants cried with grief and some of them refused to eat anything.

LP Derm was a great builder. He helped build more than 30 temples in Nakornsawan and nearby provinces, such as Phichit, Pitsanulok and Chainat. His benevolence was so great, he cared about the water in temple's pond which was the main blood vessel for all monks in the temple. He was very happy if the pond was full of water. When the pond was shallow in the dry season, he was worried and going to the Bosth to meditate and beg for rain. The day he passed away, his monk disciples had told him that the water level was very low, and if there was no rain in a few days, the pond would dry up. LP Derm nodded his head while he was lying ill on the floor.

"My sons I'm going to leave this world, I wish you all be good monks and be happy forever, so don't worry about the water in the pond", he said. A few minutes later, he passed away.

Suddenly, the lightning flashed in the sky and a clap of thunder striked and rained heavily! Only one hour later the pond was full of water again. The great monk often miraculously passed away in this manner.
