Description of manuscript content:
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 Thera travelled to the region of Marukkhanakhon. One day after meal, the Buddha spoke to Ananda about his prediction. Eight years and eight month after the Buddha’s passing away, Venerable Maha Kassapa Thera would bring 24 pieces of his chest relics to install at Phukapha Mount in order to be a worship and respect for human beings and deities and to establish his Teachings at the region as well.
Colophon:
Folio 8 on the recto side: The writing of this manuscript was finished in the afternoon (between 12.00-13.30 o’clock), the first day of the week (Sunday). Mae Thao Thi had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Tamnan Pha Maha That to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. Nibbāna paccayo hoto no dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ (May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvāna, certainly).
