Phra Mahathēp was sent to bring insignia of rank out to install Phra Wisētsunthǭn (Rot), a son of Čhāophrayā ʿAphaiphūbēt (Bǣn), as Phrayā ʿAphaiphūbēt, governor of the city of Phra Tabǭng, being the third ruler thereof; install Phra Phakdībǭrirak (Tīang), a son of Phrayā ʿAphaiphūbēt (Phibūn), as Phrayā Wisētsunthǭn; and install Nāi Sī, a younger brother of Phrayā Wisētsunthǭn (Tīang), as Phra Phakdībǭrirak, an assistant.
In the Year of the Pig, Year Seven (2358 BE),[1] Phrayā Sangkhalōk (Nǭng), ruler of the city of Phōthisat, marched an armed force in to attack the city of Phra Tabǭng. The city of Phra Tabǭng offered resistance to Phrayā Sangkhalōk (Nǭng), successfully capturing him and sending him into Krung Thēp. Afterwards, Phrayā Čhakkrī (Chēt) of Phra Tabǭng City sent a son named Nāi Suk and a son-in-law named Nāi Kǣo in to serve as royal pages. His Majesty then appointed Nāi Kǣo, son-in-law of Phrayā Čhakkrī (Chēt), as Phra Rattanawāthī.
Upon passage into the reign of His Majesty King Nangklāo Čhāoyūhūa, Phra Phakdībǭrirak, younger brother of Phrayā Wisētsunthǭn (Tīang), died. His Majesty elevated Phra Rattanawāthī (Kǣo) to Phra Phithakbǭdin, an assistant in the government affairs of Phra Tabǭng City, and appointed Phrayā Čhakkrī (Chēt) as Phrayā ʿUdomphakdī. Later on, Phra Phithakbǭdin (Kǣo) fell ill and died, and Phrayā Nakhǭn Sīammarāt, who had come in to see His Majesty, also fell ill and died. His Majesty thus appointed Phra Wichitsongkhrām (ʿOng), a foster son of Phrayā ʿAphaiphūbēt (Bǣn), as Phrayā Nakhǭn Sīammarāt. However, after Phrayā ʿAphaiphūbēt (Rot) had taken charge of government affairs for thirteen years, Phrayā ʿUdomphakdī (Chēt), Phrayā Palat (Rot), and commissioners of the city of Phra Tabǭng raised accusations against Phrayā ʿAphaiphūbēt (Rot) on various points in the fourth month of the Year of the Pig, Year Nine (2370 BE).[2] A sealed precept was directed to Phrayā ʿAphaiphūbēt (Rot), summoning him into Krung Thēp, and, by His Majesty, he was appointed as Phrayā Phiphitphakdi and was retained in the government service
