Description of manuscript content:

The manuscript contains the story of King Kavinda who ruled Vesali, sent a group of envoys bringing offerings to King Dhammakhanti, the king of Anurathaburi and asked for his beautiful daughter, Princess Phommachari to marry as a new queen of Vesali. At the time, King Dhammakhanti had just sent his daughter to King Sudassanachakka as his queen. Seven days after having Princess Phommachari as his wife, King Sudassanachakka had a new wife and floated Princess Phommachari on a raft. One day, Chanthakhat found and rescued the princess and brought her to her father. Therefore, King Dhammakhanti consigned the princess to Thanthakhat as his wife.
