Description of manuscript content:
The text mentions the Buddhist stanzas. The first stanza is called Pha chao sao paet pha ong (the names of twenty-eight Buddhas) starting Tamhaṃ nāma bhagavā and ending our Gotamo nāma bhagavā. Anyone who recites, or remembers, or sponsors the making of the manuscript of this stanza and keeps in the house, will not go to hells for one thousand kappa (eon). The second stanza is called Yòt khathā (peak of stanza) starts with Athapibbhasi me bhuddhā yo nālo and ends upekkhā anantā. Anyone who recites this stanza will gain much benefit. And so on.
