Description of manuscript content:
After Queen Maha Maya gave a birth of her son at Lumbini Garden. King Suddhodana invited eight wise men to withness the naming ceremony and to suggest a good name for his son. The wise men examined the birthmarks of the prince and concluded, “ The prince will be a king of kings if he wants to rule. If he chooses a religious life then he will become the Wisest-the Buddha.” The youngest of the five wise men, Kondanna, then said, “This prince will be the Buddha and nothing else.” Then the wise men gave him the name Siddhartha meaning “wish-fulfilled.”
