Description of manuscript content:
On one occasion, while residing at the Jetavanna monastery, the Buddha delivered a sermon to bhikkhus at the Dhamma hall. The Buddha mentioned about Thanonsai millionaire who had property of 80 Koti (a numeral measure equal to 10,000,000 million). But the millionaire was very stingy, he did not give alms. Then the Buddha also mentioned a stingy millionaire named Moha who owned property of 18 Koti. When his seven daughters were grown up, they spent his property and made it remained less and less. Therefore, the millionaire floated all his daughters with a raft on Neransara river just in order to conserve his property.
