Other notes:
The front cover and the back cover are decorated with black lacquer and gilded with gold leaves. The inner side of the manuscript is severely damaged by insects.
(The inner flyleaf)
I pay homage, creep on elbows, and put my hands holding a flower cone to be present before the Buddha. Now, I have finished the copying of this manuscript. May my writing and the content be correct and complete. May I get five holy blessings. When the Buddha comes to enlighten in the future, may I, my family, and my relatives listen to the Dhamma, reach Nibbāna, and be free from the Cycle of Rebirths.
The Abhidhammapiṭaka is composed of seven chapters, but this manuscript includes only the first four chapters.
