The chronicle of the Phra That Phanom at Vat Phra That Phanom monastery in Nakhon Phanom province, Thailand. In the Buddha’s time, the Buddha accompanied with Ananda to the region of Marukkhanakhon city. One day after meal, the Buddha spoke to Ananda about his prediction. Eight years and eight months after his passing away, one of his disciples named Maha Kassapa would bring 24 pieces of his chest relics to install at Kampha Mountain in order to worship and respect for human beings and deities and to establish his Teachings at the region as well.
Colophon:
Folio 10 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat 12308 (corresponding with CS 1238), a hwai chai year, on the sixth waning day of the first [lunar] month, a kot si day, the seventh day of the week (Saturday), the writing of this manuscript was finished at the time of the sunset drum (between 13.30–15.00 o’clock). Sao (Mrs.) Buasi had the ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Phün That (Chronicle of the stupa) to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May the result of this merit support my mother who has already died and gone to the other world, to achieve happiness definitely. Sādhu sādhu (Amen! Amen!).
