Description of manuscript content:
The content tells about the way of Nirvana. The attainment of sotapanna-stream-enterer is the first of the four groups of the noble individuals, leading to Nirvana within the next seven existences. The other three groups are sakadagami- once-returning; anagami- non-returning; and arahatta-arahantship. The one who attained sotapanna-stream-enterer will be reborn in the three conditions and then will attain Nirvana. 1. Ekabījī- the single-seed that will be reborn only one time. 2. Kolaṅkola-the clan-clan is to be reborn in the noble families for two or three times. 3. Sattakkhattuṁparama-the seven-times-at-most is to be reborn in heavens for seven times, then attain the enlightenment there.
