Description of manuscript content:

Before Vidhura Pandita left the Intha-pattha kingdom to follow the giant Punnaka Yaksa, King Thanansai asked him to give him the last preaching. Vidhura Pandita peached on the virtues for a good household life to the king. After the preaching, the giant ordered Vidhura Pandita to follow him because the king handed over Vidhura Pandita to him. Then Vidhura Pandita asked the giant to give him three days, so that he could talk to his wife and children. The giant allowed. Then they left the kingdom. During following the giant, Vidhura Pandit was planned to be killed by the giant but he was survived.
