Description of manuscript content:

When King Jayasangaha ruled Pataliputta, he ruled over his people adhering to the ten royal virtues. Therefore, his people respected him and his kingdom was calm. Moreover, the king had the most ardent religious faith in the Teachings of the Buddha and he regularly gave alms to support Buddhism. Later, the king allowed his beloved daughter, Princess Malika to become a Bhikkhuni (nun).

Colophon:

Folio 16 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat thousand 200 67 (correspond to CS 1267), a hwai sanga year, on the full-moon day of the tenth [lunar] month, the second day of the week (Monday), at the time of the morning drum (7:30–9:00), the writing of this manuscript was finished. Nang Khao (nun) Si from Vat That had the most ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Saiyasangkhaha to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5 thousand years. May all my wishes and desires be fulfilled. Sādhu sādhu nibbāna paccaya hotu no nibbānaṃ paramaṃ sukhaṃ (Well done, well done! may this be a condition for us to reach Nirvana which is the greatest bliss).
