Colophon:
Folio 15 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat (CS) 1212, a kot set year, on the full-moon day of the seventh [lunar] month, the first day of the week (Sunday), the writing of this manuscript was finished at the time of the morning drum (between 7.30–9.00 o’clock). Sathu (monk) Sim Kummali had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Tamnan Phayatham to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. Nibbāna paccayo hoto no (May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvāna).
