Description of manuscript content:

Yòttham in Lao (the peak of the Dhamma), or Cundasukarika Sutta in Pali, contains four fascicles.

The content describes 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 heaven and inquired about his practice.
