How these seals are used are already stated in the Charter on the Use of Seals. In schedules of ceremonies for consecrating royal and official seals, these nine seals are collectively referred to as the Nine Seals. Regarding why Čhāophrayā Phonlathēp, the holder of the post of kasēttrāthikān, has as many as nine seals, HRH Prince Kromphrayā Naritsarānuwattiwong has expressed a suggestion as previously mentioned. HM King Čhunlačhǭmklāo Čhāoyūhūa wrote in his rescript dated 9 September 108 RE:[b 4] “In later time, having a lot of seals is merely for observing an ancient norm. It has been agreed since Čhāophrayā Rattanāthibēt was a secretary of state that the Seal of Varuṇa shall serve as the main seal and the Seal of Vidyādhara shall be a minor seal. It has been ruled that only those should remain, whilst the other seven should be kept within the ministry in order to be in line with the practice under the old tradition.”
