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 Culasakkarat (CS) 1299, a moeng pao year, on the eighth day of the waxing moon of the third [lunar] month, the third day of the week (Tuesday), at the time of the morning drum (7:30–9:00), the writing of this manuscript was finished. Sao Duang had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Maha Vibak to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May my wishes and desires be fulfilled. May I finally enter the crystal city or the Nirvana. May I be free from demerit and dangers. Niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ. (constantly and certainly).
