Description of manuscript content:
King Chakkhin told the story of the couple of vultures came to the city and ate the people for food until the city became abandoned. Only Pathumma was survived in a big drum. Lather, the king and queen pleaded the prince to revive all people of the city. When the people were revived, they started to make fire for cooking. The vultures which lived on a mountain saw the smoke. They flew to the city for eating the people again. Prince Phetsarat brandished his bludgeon at the vultures, the power of the bludgeon broke the large wings of the vultures.
