Description of manuscript content:

The content mentions that the Dhamma of Lem luang was brought from heaven to jambudipa (India) by arahats (worthy ones). All the texts of the Buddha’s teachings are contained in this Lem luang. Any Buddhists who are ordained and unordained people should keep the Buddha’s Dhamma, listen to the Dhamma, and worship the Buddha. During the Buddha’s time, a king (Indra) who ruled the heavenly kingdom cooperated with Arahants in the transfer of this Buddha’s teachings to the human world.
