Description of manuscript content:

The text of Patimokha was written in Pali and contains a list of the 227 rules abided by monks. A recitation of the Patimokkha by a monk takes place in an assembly of the Sangha in the monastic hall on every full moon day and new moon day which is called uposatha day.

Colophon:

Folio 47 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat 170 (corresponding to CS 1170), a kat sai year, on the ninth day of the waning moon of the sixth [lunar] month, the second day of the week (Monday), in the afternoon (12:00–13:30), the writing of this manuscript was finished. Phaya Luang Müangchan and his wife had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Lam Sutmon to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until its very end of this palm-leaf manuscript. Nibbāna paccayo hotu no (May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvana).
