Description of manuscript content:
This sermonic manuscript is entitled Abhidhammapiṭaka, it pertains to the 24 Factors. The Buddha taught the 24 Factors to his mother at the Dusita heaven. The 24 Factors are known as relations between things causing another thing, such as,, causes of feelings, ownership, infinity, continuity, coincidence, dependence, stimulant, past deeds, food, etc. The Buddha compared these causes with a Bōdhi tree facing the storm. If its root is strong and durable, the tree will never collapse; a blind man uses a handrail for walking; a cow man remembers the amount and characteristics of their cows for good care; humans are born with their different past sins.

The content is too complicated and profound to be understood. Therefore, we should behave like a wasp that holds a flower at a tall tree and make the flower fall down to water. The flower is not harmed, but still beautiful, and have good smell. I end the writing here. Cūḷasakarāja 1277, the tenth [lunar] month, the eleventh day of the waning moon Remark: The date corresponds to 1277 Bhadrapada 27.
Other notes:
The front cover, the back cover, and the spine are decorated with black lacquer and gilded with gold leaves. The manuscript is severely damaged by insects. (The inner flyleaf) I put my hands together as a yellow-and-red garland to pay homage to the Buddha, the Dhamma or Tipiṭaka, and the Sangha who follow the 227 precepts. May the merit derived from copying this manuscript lead me to meet the Buddha and reach the Nibbāna. (Remark) The 24 Factors (24 Paccaya) is the Paṭṭhāna in the seventh book of the Abhidhamma Piṭaka which is composed of Dhammasaṅgaṇi, Vibhaṅga, Dhātukathā, Puggalapaññatti, Kathāvatthu, Yamaka, and Paṭṭhāna.
