'''Prince Arunotai''' was the son of King Phutthayotfa Chulalok ([[Rama I]]) and his concubine Nuiyai. He was later appointed the '''''[[Thai royal ranks and titles#Royal peerage|Kromma]] Muen'' Sakdiphonlasep''' and became acquitted with his half-nephew ''Kromma Muen'' [[Rama III|Chetsadabodin]] during the wars with Burma. ''Kromma Muen'' Chetsadabodin was crowned as King Nangklao (Rama III) in 1824 and, consequently, Sakdiphonlasep was made the [[Front Palace|"Second King"]]. He led the Siamese armies into [[Isan]] to [[Lao rebellion (1826–28)|fight with King Anouvong of Vientiane in 1826]]. Sakdiphonlasep ordered the construction of the [[Wat Bowonniwet Vihara|Bowonniwet Temple]] (lit. temple where the Front Palace lived) where Prince Mongkut (future [[Rama IV]]) became an abbot. In 1829, he ordered the Buddha Chinnasri – a 900-year-old Sukhothai Buddha statue from [[Pitsanulok]] – to be floated along the river and placed at the Bowonniwet Temple. His funeral procession was held 2 April 1833, with cremation set for seven days later. The king, through the [[Phraklang]], invited US diplomat [[Edmund Roberts (diplomat)|Edmund Roberts]] and party to witness the procession, which Roberts describes in journal. Roberts notes that one of the sons of the wang-na watches at the temple, near the funeral pile, night and day, till the body is consumed; the ashes of the consumed body are then thrown into the river with many ceremonies; and the unconsumed bones are then delivered to the priests, and made into household gods{{sic}}.<ref name = "Roberts">{{cite book |last=Roberts |first=Edmund |author-link=Edmund Roberts (diplomat) |title=Embassy to the Eastern Courts of Cochin-China, Siam, and Muscat: In the U.
