Description of manuscript content:
The text mentions about Umadanti, a Indra’s daughter asked for five blessings from her father before descending to be born on the earth. Then she was the daughter of Khemavadi who always gave alms and observed precepts. The five blessings include: 1) When I am sixteen years old, may I have a beautiful castle; 2) May I have a sublime husband; 3) When I am twenty years old, may I be a greater than other six hundred girls; 4) May I stay with my husband with pleasure; and 5) May I have a sublime son.
