Description of manuscript content:
The Buddha delivered a sermon to Ananda Thera and spoke about King Maha Sudassana who built four ponds which were constructed with four kinds of brick. The materials of bricks are gold, silver, emerald and crystal. When the four ponds had been finished, then the king commanded his servants placing food surrounding the ponds for beggars and poor people. By the result of his good deed, the king had a castle which built by Visavakam Devaputta (an engineering god).
