Description of manuscript content:
At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Savatthi, the Buddha spoke to monks about the story of Arunnavadi city. In the time of the Buddha named Sikhi who lived in Arunnavadi. Sikhi Buddha had his two excellent disciples named Abhibhu Thera and Sambhava Thera. One day, Sikhi Buddha spoke Abhibhu Thera that “let us go to one of Brahma heaven for a moment and come back before lunch”. They disappeared from the city and appeared in a Brahma world as quick as a person stretches and curls him arm.
Colophon:
Folio 25 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat 16 (corresponding with CS 1316), a poek sanga year, on the thirteenth waning day of the tenth [lunar] month, the first day of the week (Sunday), a kat mot day, the writing of this manuscript was finished at the time of the evening horn (between 15.00-16.30 o’clock). Nang (Mrs.) Phia Müng Kang and her children had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Arunnavadisut to support the Teachings of the Buddha. May my wishes and desires come true, may this not be ignored. Nibbāna paccayo hotu dhuvaṃ (May this be a condition to reach Nirvāna, certainly).
