Description of manuscript content:
When the king heard the Yak said that he was delighted. He spoke to his children that it does not mean I do not love you, my beloved children but I love my enlightenment. Then he decided to give his children to the Yak for his food and declared to devas and the mother earth as witness to acknowledge his great dāna (giving). When the Yak got the children it immediately ate them in front of the king though he was not anxious but was delighted with the great giving.
Colophon:
Folio 26 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat (CS) 1220, a poek sanga year, on the eighth waning day of the eleventh [lunar] month, the seventh day of the week (Saturday), a hwai san day, the writing of this manuscript was finished in the morning between 6.00-7.30 o’clock. Mün Bun had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Nisai Pha Chao 10 Pha-Òng to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of five thousand years. May all my wishes and desires come true. Nibbāna paccayo hontu no dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ (May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvāna, certainly).
