Description of manuscript content:
Prince Phetsarat was wandering in the forest for looking for his wife, Pathumma Keson until he arrived in Chakkhin city. When the prince saw King Chakkhin and Queen died by the vultures, only their bones remaining. The prince used his power to revive them. Then the king told him about what happened. The prince also told the king that he is the youngest son of King Chulani of Panchala Nakhon and Queen Pathumma. He was told by his mother that his grandparents lived in Chkkhin. The king understood that the prince was his grandson. They hugged each other with the most pleasure.
