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, the 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.
