Description of manuscript content:
While the Buddha was staying at the Jetavana monastery, a brahman named Supinna came to him and asked what merit a devout person would get from giving monks a castle decorated with beeswax flowers. Then the Buddha delivered a sermon describing the merit derived from donating a castle decorated with beeswax flowers.
