Description of manuscript content:
A poorest couple lived in Matutarat Nakhon. One night, the wife dreamed that a Brahma brought a crystal which was full of ten properties to put in her mouth. She swallowed the crystal in and woke up. She told her dream to an astrologer. The astrologer predicted that she would be pregnant of a meritorious son. Later, she was pregnant and gave birth of a son. Seven days after giving birth, the mother died. When the boy was seven years old, his father gave him name as Suphommamkkha Kuman.
