In 2405 BE, on the fifth day of the waxing moon of the eleventh lunar month, I stopped writing this manuscript entitled Arindamā with a reed pen made of Baphicacanthus cusia Brem leaves and cinnabar derived from Dòi Luang of Müang Küng, Wiang Pāi.

The front cover and the back cover are decorated with black lacquer in lines and patterns with inlaid minute glasses. The manuscript is slightly damaged by insects.
