Description of manuscript content:
One day, King Nemirat wished to see the place of devil-doers and of meritorious-doers. He thought that he had never seen these two places. He asked Mataliputta for taking him to both places. Thus, Mataliputta first took the king to the hells. When King Nemirat had seen the fifteen hells, he was frightened and decided that he would tell his ministers and citizens about the hells in order to prevent them from behaving badly. The place of the well-doers is mentioned in DS0011 00813.
Colophon:
Folio 24 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat (CS) 1202, a kot chai year, on the ninth day of the waning moon of the third [lunar] month, the second day of the week (Monday), a kot set day, at the time of the morning drum (7:30–9:00), the writing of this manuscript was finished. Xiang (Mr. ex-novice) Phomma had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Suvannasayam Jataka to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. Nibbāna paccayo hotu dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ (May this be a condition to reach Nirvana, certainly).
