Description of manuscript content:
The merit derived from offering flowers and fragrance to worship the Buddha. The ones who worship the Buddha with flowers and fragrance will gain merit in the three stages: in the human world, the heavenly world and Nirvana.

Colophon:
Folio 9 on the recto side: In BE 2526, a ka khai year, on the ninth day of the waxing moon of the third [lunar] month, a Friday, [the writing was finished].

Suddhinaṃ dhamma dānaṃ āsavak khayāvahaṃ hotu anāgate kāle nibbānaṃ paramaṃ sukhaṃ niccaṃ dhuvaṃ hotu (Giving gift of Dhamma is better than giving all other gifts. Nirvana is the greatest bliss, constantly and certainly).
