The titles of ministers of the state council as well as of the principal officials are found to be Hindu. The *montree*, the *parohita* (*purohita*), the *mahāsenāpati*, the *rājakoṣādhipati*, the *amancha* (*amātya*) etc. are all Indian categories. The five Hindu symbols of royalty are in use. The civil and criminal law of the *Manu Samhitā* has furnished the basis of Siamese law. The influence of the *Mahābhārata* also as of the *Rāmāyaṇa* is no less patent.
