Description of manuscript content:
While the four babies were floating to near a garden. A couple of old gardeners saw the jar and found the four babies. They took them to their house and looked after the babies. They enjoyed on looking after the babied. Some days, they forgot to bring flowers to the king as usual. The boys were grown up. Queen Akkhi sent her servants to search and knew that the boys were rescued by the gardeners. Then she ordered her servant to bring khao tom (boiled rice in wrapping with banana leaf) with poison to the boys when the old gardeners were not there. Therefore the four boys died after eating the rice.
