- ↑ Some scholars believe Phaya Kaeo Phaya Thai (Thai: พญาแก้วพญาไท) refers to a single person, whilst some believe it refers to two persons (Phaya Kaeo and Phaya Thai). Damrongrachanuphap (1991, p. 218) expressed an opinion, saying "Phraya Kaeo Phraya Thai seemed to be a relative of the king of Cambodia". Phakdikham (2006, p. 886) believes Phaya Kaeo Phaya Thai here corresponded to the Cambodian royal title of Phra Ong Kaeo (Thai: พระองค์แก้ว), which the official list of Cambodian dignitary titles says was the highest second-class royal title for a relative of the Cambodian sovereign.
- ↑ Rupphap (Thai: รูปภาพ) is a compound consisting of rup ("form") and phap ("condition"). In modern usage, it refers to a two-dimensional image (Royal Institute, n.d.). But in archaic usage, it seems to refer to an image of any dimension. Damrongrachanuphap (1991, p. 219) believed that the term here refers to the bronze cow statues displayed at Phra Phutthabat Temple at his time. Phakdikham (2015, p. 20) expressed an opinion that the term here refers to the bronze statues now displayed at Mahamuni Buddha Temple in Mandalay, known as Mahamuni Bronzes.
