Colophon:
Folio 17 on the recto side: In Cula-sakkarat thousand hundred 97 (should be 1197), a hap mot year, on the ninth day of the waning moon of the sixth [lunar] month, the fourth day of the week (Wednesday), a tao chai day, at the time of the sunset drum (13:30–15:00), the writing of this manuscript was finished. Chao Khanan (ex-monk) Visa Ratthapanya together with all relatives had the ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manu-script entitled Vessantara to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5 thousand years. May all our wishes and desires be fulfilled. Nibbāna paccayo hotu no niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ (May this be a condition for me to reach Nirvana, constantly and certainly).
