The name "Phairi Phinat" (The opponent will be the loser. You will win)
was given by King Rama IV who
received this Buddha image during the time when one who plotted
to destroy him was destroyed instead.
For this reason, the reproduction Phairi Phinat amulet
become popular among collectors as it is believed that it would protect them
from malevolence in the same way that the original did.
