In the present reign (the reign of King Rama IV), when Phra Palat (Kēt) was convicted of an offence, Phrayā Manōmaitrī (Čhan), an older brother of Phra Palat (Kēt), was appointed as Phrayā Palat, whilst Phra Palat (Kēt) himself was appointed as Phra Suphanphisān, governor’s advisor on gold levy.
Phrayā ʿAphaiphūbēt (Nǭng), having governed the city for twelve years, left the impermanent state[3] on Friday, the seventh waning-moon day of the tenth month of the Year of the Monkey, Year Two (2403 BE).[4] Čhāophrayā ʿAphaiphūbēt (Bǣn) had a total of sixteen sons and daughters, namely—
