Description of manuscript content:

The text mentions about the establishment of the monastic disciplines or Vinaya which are the disciplinary code for self-training laid down the Buddha to his disciples to observe, and play a pivotal role in their monastic way of life. When the monastic order grew in numbers, it attracted many others, some of whom were not so highly developed spiritually. There arose some problems regarding their conduct and way of life. Owing to this situation, the Buddha had to lay down guidelines for monks and nuns to follow.
