Description of manuscript content:
Nyòttham in Lao (the peak of the Dhamma), or Cundasukarika Sutta in Pali, contains four fascicles. The manuscripts are popularly used to read by four monks in the nyottham ceremony which organized at a monastery or a house. The content describes about the merit derived from paying homage to and listening to Cundasukarika Sutta as Dhammika Bandit had conducted. The power of the merit, a miracle of lighting happened in Tavatimsa heaven. When Indra acknowledged, then he sent Mataliputta to bring Dhammika to the heaven and inquired him about his practice.
