Description of manuscript content:
While residing at Mount Gijjhakuta near Rajgir, the Buddha delivered a sermon of this Akaravatta Sutta to Sariputta Thera. The Sutta contains five verses starting from Navaradiguna Verse to Paramidatta Verse. The Akaravatta Sutta is more powerful than other Suttas in preventing harm from those who are following. Those who are always reminding the Sutta, they would be safe from various dangers and have a cleaned mind. The person who has listened, written, recited, hallowed and chanted would be refrained from 30 kinds of dangers such as: dangers from ferocious animals, dangers from kings, dangers from water and fire, dangers from human and from devils, etc.
