Description of manuscript content:

While residing at the Jetavana Monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha spoke about a peta (hungry ghost) named Pesakara who had ever been a weaver’s wife. When she was a human being, she was stingy. She scolded at her husband while offering food and robes to monks. After death, the husband was born as a deity living nearby a main road, and the wife was born as a ghost living nearby him. She was living without food and clothes and being burned and painful. When she asked for food and clothes from the deity, the food became excrement and the clothes became hot metal sheets.
