Description of manuscript content:

The king of Indapattha had a son named Citta, while the king of Campa had a daughter called Orapimpa. Once grown up, Citta killed the king of Campā and brought Orapimpa to his country. As they were walking in the jungle, a hunter killed Citta, but she resorted to a ruse, killing the hunter, in her turn. Citta was brought back to life by Indra, but the two lovers remained separated. Orapimpa took refuge in Mithila where she built a pavilion in which she lived as a nun and on which she drew pictures representing the main events of her life. Citta passed by, one day, saw the pictures and recognized Orapimpa. The king of Mithila then gave his kingdom to the young prince.

Colophon:

[The writing of this manuscript] was completed on the seventh day of the week in CS 1254, a kot si year, on the twelfth waning-moon day of the eleventh [lunar] month. Novice Maṅgala wrote this manuscript during his stay of assistance to Sawathu Cao Khruba Sommana at Wat Ban Hong Si Bun Rüang. May the merit derived from writing this manuscript reward me sharp wisdom and intelligence. May this merit be transferred to my family members. Nibbānaṃ paramaṃ sukhaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ.
