Description of manuscript content:
Once the seven Paccekabuddhas go for alms-gathering in a village which a wealthy man and his wife prepare food for offering. At that time, Nāi Ya and his wife who are poor would like to join to offer the food, but the wealthy man does not allow. In the evening, the wealthy man and his wife go to take a rest at a pavilion, Nāi Ya and his wife also ask for taking a rest at the same pavilion but the wealthy man does not allow again. Later, Nāi Ya and his wife do jobs and collect money until they can buy rice and offer it to the Paccekabuddhas. During the way back home, they find many coffers that make them millionaires.
