Description of manuscript content:

Ascetic Gotama ate the sweet thick milk-rice and then bathed in the river Neranjara. This was the last food and bath he would have for seven weeks. When he finished he took the golden bowl and threw it in the river, saying, "If I am to succeed in becoming a Buddha today, let this bowl go upstream, but if not, let it go downstream." The golden bowl went upstream, all the while keeping in the middle of the river.

Colophon:

Folio 20 on the verso side: My handwriting is not so beautiful. I have a tough hand because of never touching the breast of a girl.
