On Friday, the 4th waning-moon day of the 4th month,[1] after the beating of the dawn drum,[2] Chaochommanda Ueng and Thao Sisatcha (Saeng) came out at the Sanam Ratchakit Gate[3] and told the royal son Phra-ongchao Annop that it was His Majesty’s command that he withdraw money from the Grand Treasury and give 1 bat away to each citizen every day from that very Friday, the 4th waning-moon day of the 4th month of the Year of the Dog, Year 2. When the royal command was brought out, Krommamuen Wongsasanit, Phra-ongchao Latdawan, Phra-ongchao Urai, Chamuen Samoechairat, and Nai Chaikhan were all present.
