Description of manuscript content:

The text is about ordination procedure. The preceptor introduces the applicant to know the name of his preceptor with his own Pali name, his alms-bowl, sangkhati (outer robe), chivòn (robe or clothing), and sabong (underrobe). Then, the other two teacher monks indicate the applicant to leave the Sangha assembly and stand outside at the door of the sim. The teacher monks come back to him and examine whether he has diseases such as leprosy, ulcers, ringworms, consumption, or epilepsy.
