Description of manuscript content:

Colophon:

Folio 10 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat 2 thousand and 6 hundred thousand 208 (corresponding with CS 1208), a hwai sanga year, on the fifth waxing day of the seventh [lunar] month, the sixth day of the week (Friday), the writing of this manuscript was finished at the time of the evening horn (between 15.00–16.30 o’clcok). Chao Mòm (monk) Ut had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Yamuk to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May all my wishes and desires come true. Sādhu sādhu (Amen! Amen!). Moreover, may the results of this merit support my parents, siblings and all my relatives. If they are stuck in a place of suffering, may they moved to a good place. If they already are in a good place, may they are more happy numerous times.
