Description of manuscript content:

The text describes the God Indra’s message given to people in the world. The people should accumulate merit by giving alms, observing the precepts, meditating and listening to the Dhamma. Thirty years after the death of the Buddha, there would no longer be any arahants. In Sangkat (Cullasakkarat) 1000, King Dhammikarat (probably meaning King Asoka) would support the Teachings of the Buddha and Buddhism would flourish. After that, it would be the dark age of the devil. Only the ones with morality would be safe.
