Description of manuscript content:
The content mention about the story of two brother monks naming Culakan and Mahakan. Initially, these two brothers were merchants. While merchandising, they had a chance to listen to the Buddha’s sermon. After the sermon, they asked the Buddha for becoming his followers as bhikkhus. Mahakan entered the monkhood with intention, then he attained arahantship. But Culakan entered the monkhood just for test. Finally he was planed by his old wife in force to disrobe.
