While residing at the Jetavana monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha talked about a peta (hungry ghost) called Pesakara who had once been the wife of a weaver. When she was a human, she was stingy. She scolded her husband while he was offering food and robes to monks. After their death, the husband was born as a deity living nearby a main road, whereas the wife was born as a ghost living near him. She was living without food and clothes and being burned in pain. When she asked for food and clothes from the deity, the food turned into excrement and the clothes into hot metal sheets.
Colophon:
Folio 12 on the recto side: In BE 2491, […] the writing of this manuscript was finished in the morning (7:30–9:00). Sao Khampheng had the most ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Maha Vibak to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May this merit […] my husband who has passed away. If he has been stuck in a place of suffering, please let him move to a better place which is the heaven and Nirvana […] me anāgate kāle.
