Description of manuscript content:
This is the sixth fascicle of the story of the Bodhisatta who was born as Mahosot (the one who has a powered medicine), the son of Sirivatthaka and Sumana, a wealthy merchant in Mithila City. When he was born, he clasped a medicinal herb in his hand that caused a his mother giving birth without feeling pains. Moreover, the herb could cure every sick person. When Sirivatthaka placed and smeared the medicinal herb on his forehead, his headache immediately vanished. At the age of seven, Mahosot demonstrated his great architectural talent. Throughout his childhood his wisdom grew. With his excellence, he was one of advisors to King Vitheha of Mithila. When King Vitheha died, Mahosot moved to Varanasi City and became the advisor to King Chulani Prommathat.
