Description of manuscript content:
Then the hunter intended to ask his questions with the Buddha. He travelled to Suthinnarat city where the Buddha was staying. On his way, there were many people left their questions with the hunter to the Buddha. Such as the king of Suthinnarat’s question: my palace is caught fire every year. I want to know why? A giant snake’s question: I have been watching this anthill for 100 years, but I could not go away. I want to know way? A queen’s question: I was born for years but I could not find a husband. I want to know why?
