Colophon:
Folio 20 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat 1 hundred 80 (CS 1180), a poek nyi year, on the seventh waxing day of the seventh [lunar] month, a kot sanga day, the writing of this manuscript was finished at noon (between 10.30-12.00 o’clock). Ta (Mr.) Müan and his wife had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Nisai Samphuttha Khatha and Nòlasiha Khatha to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May we all reach the three states of happiness with Nirvāna as the ultimate goal.
