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 25 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat (CS) 1217, a hap mao year, on the fifteenth waning day of the sixth [lunar] month, the third day of the week (Tuesday), a tao si day, the writing of this manuscript was finished at the time of the evening horn (between 15.00–16.30). Akkha Vòrarachakhuchao of Vat Phonsai had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Nisai Pha Chao 10 Pha-Òng to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. Nibbāna paccayo hontu no (May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvāna).
