He ordered the collection of important scriptures in various cities to compile the Tripitaka and completed the Tripitaka recitation to be correct and acceptable. He donated money to renovate many temples, such as Wat Inthararam and Wat Rakhang Khositaram. He also supported monks to study the Dhamma seriously. He practiced Buddhism as a good example.
