Description of manuscript content:
When the astrologer recanted his prediction, in front of the king he said that the children of Princess Suvannapapha and Princess Pathumma will be bad. King Kussarat was afraid that dangers would happen in his kingdom. The king banished the two princesses with their children out of the city. The princesses carried their children and were wandering in the forest. Then Indra invented a crystal castle for the five peoples.
