- See more at The Independence Monument (Khmer: វិមានឯករាជ្យ,
"Vimean Akareach") in Phnom Penh,
capital of Cambodia, was
built in 1958 for Cambodia's independence from France in 1953. It stands on the
intersection of Norodom
Boulevard and Sihanouk
Boulevard in the centre of the city. It is in the form of a lotus-shaped stupa, of the style seen at
the great Khmer temple at Angkor Wat and other Khmer historical sites. The
Independence Monument was designed by the influential Cambodian modern
architect Vann Molyvann.
During national celebrations,
The Independence Monument is the center of activity. A ceremonial flame on the
interior pedestal is often lit by a royal or high official on these occasions,
and floral tributes line the stairs. Every year, The Independence Monument is
visited by foreigners and locals alike.
វិមានឯករាជ្យត្រូវបានសម្ភោធន៍នៅឆ្នាំ១៩៥៨
ដើម្បីអបអរឯករាជ្យភាពរបស់ប្រទេសកម្ពុជាពីអាណានិគមបារាំង
នៅឆ្នាំ១៩៥៣។ស្ថាបត្យករកម្ពុជាដ៏ល្បីឈ្មោះលោក វណ្ណ

និងរំលេចចេញយ៉ាងច្បាស់នូវម៉ូតរបស់ប្រាង្គប្រាសាទអង្គរវត្ត។
វិមានឯករាជ្យឥឡូវក៏ត្រូវបានប្រើជាវិមានសំគាល់ការបញ្ចប់សង្គ្រាមនៅកម្ពុជាក៏ដូចជាឯករាជ្យភាពរបស់ខ្លួន។

ប្រវត្តិទំនាក់ទំនង រវាងសត្វនាគនិងពលរដ្ឋខ្មែរ
ឆ្នាំរោងជាឆ្នាំមួយក្នុងចំណោមឆ្នាំសត្វតំណាងទាំង១២។
ក៏ប៉ុន្តែចម្លែកត្រង់ថា
គេមិនដែលឃើញមានសត្វនាគមែនទែនរស់នៅក្នុងជីវិតមនុស្សជាក់ស្ដែង
ដូចជាសត្វផ្សេងៗទៀតដែលតំណាងឲ្យឆ្នាំមនុស្សចំនួន ១១នោះឡើយ
គឺគេគ្រាន់តែឃើញមានរូបនាគ
ដែលគេសង់ជានិមិត្តរូបនៅតាមប្រាសាទបុរាណនានា
តាមទីសាធារណៈសំខាន់ៗតែប៉ុណ្ណោះ។
នៅពេលដែលសួរថា
តើនៅក្នុងលោកនេះមានសត្វនាគមែន ឬយ៉ាងណា? ក្រុមអ្នកបុរាណវិទ្យាបានផ្ដល់ចម្លើយស្ទាក់ស្ទើរថា
ប្រហែលជាមាន ឬក៏ប្រហែលជាអត់។
មានការអះអាងតៗគ្នាថា
មានមនុស្សខ្លះធ្លាប់បានឃើញសត្វនាគ ជាអាទិ៍ លោក ជុច ភឿន
រដ្ឋលេខាធិការក្រសួងវប្បធម៌ បានអះអាងថា
លោកធ្លាប់ឃើញសំណាកឆ្អឹងនាគនៅប្រទេសអាល្លឺម៉ង់ (Germany)។ ជាងនេះទៅទៀតនោះ លោកបញ្ជាក់ថា
ខ្លួនលោកផ្ទាល់ក៏ធ្លាប់ឃើញនាគដែរ កាលពីកុមារភាពនៅស្រុកកំណើតរបស់លោក
ស្រុកមោងឬស្សី ខេត្តបាត់ដំបង។
លោក ជុច ភឿន៖ «រឿងនេះខ្ញុំបានទៅប្រទេសអាល្លឺម៉ង់
គេបានតាំងក្នុងសារមន្ទីរគេ គឺនាគសមុទ្រតែម្ដង
ហើយគេមានទាំងឆ្អឹងបង្ហាញឲ្យយើងដឹងថា
ជារូបនាគមានជាក់ស្ដែងនៅក្នុងសមុទ្រ។ ខ្ញុំនៅក្មេងៗខ្ញុំធ្លាប់ឃើញភ្នែកតែម្ដង
ហើយប្រជាជនខ្មែរហៅថា ពស់អ្នកតា។ ពស់អ្នកតាហ្នឹងមិនវែងទេ
ប្រវែងមួយម៉ែត្រ មួយម៉ែត្រជាង។ មានភ្នែកធំមានត្រចៀកពណ៌ក្រហមឆេះ
ដែលខ្ញុំជឿថា នឹងជានាគ ខ្ញុំធ្លាប់បានឃើញកាលនៅខ្ញុំនៅក្មេង»។
ទោះយ៉ាងណាទាំង លោក ជុច ភឿន
ទាំងអ្នកបុរាណវិទ្យាខ្មែរបានរំលឹកថា ក្រៅពីនេះ
ខ្មែរក៏មានរឿងព្រេងខ្លះទៀតទាក់ទងនឹងនាគនេះដែរ។ ដូចជារឿងជាតក
ដែលពាក់ព័ន្ធរឿងដំណើរជីវិតព្រះពុទ្ធប្រវត្តិ និងរឿងនិទាន «ព្រះថោងនាងនាគ» ដែលគេជឿថា
ជាបុព្វការីជនរបស់ជនជាតិខ្មែរសព្វថ្ងៃនេះ។
លោកអនុបណ្ឌិត អ៊ឹម បុរិន្ទ ជំនួយការធម្មការ
និងសាសនា នៃគណៈកម្មាធិការបុណ្យជាតិ និងអន្តរជាតិ។ លោកបានរំលឹកថា
ប្រជាពលរដ្ឋខ្មែរសព្វថ្ងៃនេះគឺមានអម្បូរជាសត្វនាគ
ដោយលោកយោងលើរឿងព្រេងនិទានខ្មែរមួយឈ្មោះថា «ព្រះថោងនាងនាគ» ដែលកាលនោះនគរខ្មែរស្ថិតនៅក្នុងឆ្នាំ៥០
មុនគ្រិស្តសករាជ មានព្រះមហាក្សត្រខ្មែរដំបូងបង្អស់រៀបការជាមួយសត្វនាគ
ហើយបានកើតកូនពូនជាចៅពូជផៅខ្មែរមកទល់សព្វថ្ងៃនេះ។
លោក អ៊ឹម បុរិន្ទ៖ «បើយើងនិយាយពីព្រះថោងនាងនាគ បានន័យថា
តាំងពីបឋមនៃប្រទេសខ្មែរយើង បានន័យថា បឋមក្សត្រខ្មែរ
គឺដូចឯកសារខ្លះបានប្រៀបធៀបព្រះនាងលាវយី
ដែលជាស្ដេចបឋមក្សត្ររបស់យើងហ្នឹង គឺទៅរឿងព្រះថោងនាងនាគហ្នឹងដែរ។
យើងចង់និយាយថា ព្រះថោងជាមនុស្សទេ បានជួបនាងនាគ ដែលប្រែក្រឡាជាមនុស្សហើយមកលេងដីគោក
អ៊ីចឹងព្រះថោងក៏ឃើញរួចក៏ចាប់ប្រតិព័ទ្ធទៅ ក៏ព្រមព្រៀងស្រឡាញ់គ្នា
ហើយបានចុះទៅតាមនាងនាគឋានភុជង្គនាគ នេះជារឿងព្រេងទេ។
ក្រោយពីជួបគ្នាហើយក៏ស្ដេចនាគហ្នឹងព្រមព្រៀង
រួចក៏វិលមកនៅនគរហ្នឹងទៅ»។
ចំពោះលោកព្រឹទ្ធាចារ្យ ពេជ្រ ទុំក្រវិល
ព្រឹទ្ធាចារ្យស្រាវជ្រាវវប្បធម៌ខ្មែរ លោក ពេជ្រ ទុំក្រវិល ក៏បានបញ្ជាក់ថា
លោកមិនដឹងថា នាគមានពិតមែន ឬគ្រាន់តែជានិមិត្តរូប
ដែលបុព្វបុរសខ្មែរបង្កើតឡើងនោះទេ។ ក៏ប៉ុន្តែលោកថា
កូនខ្មែរទំនងដូចជាកើតពីនាគដូចដែលរឿងនិទានព្រេងបុរាណមែន
ព្រោះថាសព្វថ្ងៃនេះ នៅក្នុងភាសាខ្មែរក៏ប្រើពាក្យថា «នាគ» នៅពេលគេហៅមនុស្សណាម្នាក់
ឬក៏នៅពេលគេរាប់ចំនួនមនុស្សដោយប្រើពាក្យថា «នាគ»
ក្នុងន័យតំណាងឲ្យសត្វនាគ។
លោក ពេជ្រ ទុំក្រវិល៖ «ទាំងគេទាំងខ្ញុំជឿថា ពូជសាសន៍គឺអម្បូរនាគនេះឯង។
អ៊ីចឹងហើយបានជាទូទៅខ្ញុំលើកជាឧទាហរណ៍មួយចុះ
កាលណាខ្មែររាប់ចំនួនមនុស្សប្រើពាក្យថា មួយនាក់ពីរនាក់ បានសេចក្ដីថា
នាគមួយនាគពីរ។ ពិតមែនកន្លែងខ្លះមានសំនៀងខុសគ្នាខ្លះ
ដូចជាបងប្អូនខ្មែរនៅខាងជើងភ្នំដងរែក រហូតមកដល់បាត់ដំបង សៀមរាប
គាត់ច្រើននិយាយថា មួយនាគពីរនាគ ហើយខ្មែរនៅតំបន់កណ្ដាលដូចជា ភ្នំពេញ
កណ្ដាល កំពង់ឆ្នាំង ថាមួយនាក់ពីរនាក់ ហើយបងប្អូនខ្មែរកម្ពុជាក្រោមថា
សំនៀងខុសគ្នាបន្តិច ម៉ាណាក ពីរណាក មានខ្លះសង្កត់ជាងនេះទៅទៀត គឺម៉ាណាក់
ពីរណាក់ អ៊ីចឹងតែទាំងអស់ហ្នឹងគឺនៅក្នុងន័យនាគមួយនាគពីរនាគបី
ដែលរាប់ចំនួនមនុស្សរបស់ខ្មែរហ្នឹងឯង»។
ទោះយ៉ាងណា គេសង្កេតឃើញថា
និមិត្តរូបនៃសត្វនាគសព្វថ្ងៃមានសណ្ឋានខុសគ្នា
គឺនាគខ្មែរមានរាងដូចពស់ រាងធំហើយវែង មានក្បាលដកពពារ។
ខុសពីនាគស្រុកចិន មានជើង មានក្រញាំ មានអណ្ដាត មានព្រុយពុកមាត់ជាដើម។
ក្រុមអ្នកបុរាណវិទ្យាខ្មែរបញ្ជាក់ថា នាគ
គឺសត្វមានអានុភាពមហិទ្ធិឫទ្ធិខ្លាំងពូកែ តែតំណាងឲ្យសេចក្ដីល្អ។
ព្រឹទ្ធាចារ្យ ពេជ្រ ទុំក្រវិល បញ្ជាក់ថា នាគ ឬនាគរាជ បានចាក់ឫសយ៉ាងជ្រៅនៅក្នុងជីវភាពរស់នៅខ្មែរតាំងពីបុរាណមកទល់បច្ចុប្បន្ន
ដូចជានាគស្ថិតនៅផ្នែកសិល្បៈរបាំ និងកំណាព្យខ្មែរ។ ក្រៅពីនេះ
នាគត្រូវបានបុព្វបុរសខ្មែរយកមកសង់ជាសំណង់ស្ថាបត្យកម្មបែបរចនាបថរបស់ខ្មែរ
តាមប្រាសាទ តាមអាគារសាសនា តាមស្ពាន និងនៅព្រះរាជវាំងជាដើម។
លោក ជុច ភឿន មានប្រសាសន៍ថា ទាំងនេះ
ដោយសារបុព្វបុរសខ្មែរចាត់ទុកនាគរាជជាឆ្មាំមួយដ៏មានមហិទ្ធិឫទ្ធិខ្លាំងពូកែ
ដូចរូបសត្វតោដែរ ដែលអាចរក្សារតនសម្បត្តិបានយ៉ាងខ្លាំងពូកែ។ លោកថា
ដូច្នេះហើយទើបគេឃើញសំណង់វិមានឯករាជ្យ ដែលសង់នៅទសវត្សក្រោយៗមកហើយ
បានសង់ចម្លងតាមរចនាបថប្រាសាទបន្ទាយស្រី ក្នុងនោះមានក្បាលនាគចំនួន
១០០ក្បាលដែលលោកអះអាងដំណាងភាពរុងរឿង។ ក្រៅពីជំនឿនាគលើសាសនា លោក ជុច ភឿន
បានទាញអារម្មណ៍ថា បើគេគិតរឿងនាគមកខាងវិទ្យាសាស្ត្រវិញ
លោកបានប្រៀបធៀបនាគជាតំណាងទឹក និងដី
ដែលបម្រើឲ្យផ្នែកកសិកម្មរបស់មនុស្ស។
បច្ចុប្បន្នការគោរព
និងជំនឿរបស់ប្រជាពលរដ្ឋខ្មែរលើនាគ ឬឆ្នាំរោងនៅតែមានឥទ្ធិពលខ្លាំងដដែល។
ជាក់ស្ដែងនៅថ្ងៃចូលឆ្នាំខ្មែរឆ្នាំរោងនេះគេសង្កេតឃើញមាន
នៅតាមវត្តអារាម តាមទីសាធារណៈ ដូចជានៅសួនច្បារវត្តភ្នំ
គេសង់សំណង់និមិត្តរូបនាគមួយយ៉ាងធំ ដើម្បីជាការគោរព
និងស្វាគមន៍ពិធីបុណ្យចូលឆ្នាំថ្មីឆ្នាំរោងនេះ៕
