==History==<br />
In the [[Ayutthaya Kingdom]], the title ''Buddhācārya'' was preserved for Buddhist monks who were patrairchs of the sect of ''[[Aranyavasi|araṇyavāsī]]'' ({{lang-th|อรัญวาสี}}; {{rtgs|''aranyawasi''}}; literally "forest dwellers").<ref name = ":0"/><br />
<br />
In 2394 {{abbreviation|BE|Buddhist Era}} (1851/52 {{abbreviation|CE|Common Era}}), the title ''Buddhācārya'' was modified as ''Buḍḍhācārya'' by King [[Rama IV]] who gave it to Son ({{lang-th|สน}}), the abbot of [[Wat Saket]].<ref>วิเชียร อากาศฤกษ์ และ สุนทร สุภูตะโยธิน, ประวัติ สมณศักดิ์ และ พัดยศ, กรุงเทพฯ: โรงพิมพ์ศรีอนันต์, 2528, หน้า 33</ref><br />
