Description of manuscript content:

The text mentions about the king of Koratsamphi seized Suvanna Sangkhan from Thao Kampha (orphaned boy). Thao Kampha very much regretted it. While he was wandering in the forest, he met a hermit and learnt incantations with him. When he finished his learning, Thao Kampha returned to Koratsamphi.
