Colophon:
Folio 15 on the recto side: Matthi fascicle 12. Ai Chua (novice) Phaen and his mother had the religious faith to jointly sponsor the making of this manuscript-bundle entitled Lam Maha Vessantara Jatakato support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May all my wishes and desires come true. Nibbāna paramaṃ sukkhaṃ (Nirvāna is the greatest bliss). The handwriting is not so beautiful. You, novices and monks may consider if there is any misspelling.
