Description of manuscript content:
On one time, while residing at the Jetavanna monastery, the Buddha mentioned about a Kathina ceremony held by King Pasena, and told this story. In a rainy season, the king announced to his people that we should serve monks who have stayed one place for three months during a Lent. He ordered a clever barber to cut white cloths for making a robe. Then the king brought the robe with other offerings to a monastery and organized the Kathina ceremony which was presided over by Venerable Kaccayana Thera.
