Description of manuscript content:

A long time ago, King Mandarat and his Queen Sumira ruled Xiang Thong kingdom. They had no son. They really need a son to be a successor. Therefore, the king asked his queen to have meal one time a day, observe precepts and set a wish to have a son. Thus, Indra sent a Bodhisatta into the queen’s womb. At the time, the queen dreamed and saw a crystal falling from the sky and dropped on her head. When she gave birth of a son, she gave a name to her son “Saeng Moeng”.
