While the Buddha was dwelling in Kapilavatthu, he delivered a sermon to his disciples describing Dāna (alms-giving) and Sīla (morality). The results of alms-giving and observing the precepts depend on the practitioners. Those who wish to gain lokiya (mundane) results such as becoming a king, an affluent, God Indra, Brahma or an emperor, their wishes are regarded as carelessness because they follow their own cravings. If they wish to gain lokuttara (supra-mundane) results such as Nirvana, they are regarded as careful.
Colophon:
Folio 33 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat (CS) 1271, a kat hao year, on the ninth day of the waxing moon of the seventh [lunar] month, the sixth day of the week (Friday), a kat khai day, at the time of the morning drum (9:00–10:30), the writing of this manuscript was finished. The mother of the Chao Uparat (viceroy) named Pathumma had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Munla-nipphan to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. Suddhinaṃ vattame dānaṃ nibbānaṃ paccayo hotu no. (May the benefits derived from this merit be a condition for me to reach Nirvana).
