Colophon:
I, Monk Kunā, finished the writing of this manuscript at the time of the morning drum, on the seventh day of the week, in CS 1206, a kap si year. Nibbāna paccayo hotu me niccaṃ niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ. The principal initiator was Phò (father) Fan, together with Mae (mother) Cha and all their children, who sponsored the writing of this manuscript, so that the Teachings of the Buddha could be prolonged until [the end of] 5,000 years or long as the life of this manuscript. They wish the threefold happiness of which Nibbāna is the ultimate one.
