Description of manuscript content:
When Thao Khatthnam and his followers travelled to Saovadisi Maha Nakhon, they confronted with a flock of golden swans which ate the people for food. They were fighting with the swans until they all died. Then, Thao Khatthanam used his magic wand to point the dead people to bring back. The magic wand has one end pointing to die and another end pointing to live. Thus, the people established Thao Khatthanam as their king.
