Description of manuscript content:

The text describes 6 Abhiññā (super-knowledge) which are the result of concentration and wisdom-insight, consisting of Iddividhī (magical powers); Dibbasota (divine ears); Cetopariyañāna (penetration into the minds of others); Pubbenivāsānussati (remembrance of former existences); Dibbacakkhu (divine eyes); and Āsavakkhayañāna (know-ledge of the exhaustion of all mental intoxicants).

Colophon:

Folio 21 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat (CS) 1231, a kot sanga year, on the fifteenth day of the waxing moon of the second [lunar] month, the fifth day of the week (Thursday), at noon (10:30–12:00), the writing of this manuscript was finished. Chao Khun Müang Khunkan, the guardian who secured Luang Prabang city, together with his children and wife, Mae I Nukaeo (mother of Ms. Nukaeo), had the most ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Nisai Upbat, first fascicle, to be dedicated to the daughter named I Nukaeo. May this merit reach and support her to derive the three stages of happiness with Nirvana as the ultimate goal. May this manuscript last until the end of 5 thousand years.
