Benefits derived from making rocket flowers in order to worship the Triple Gem. In the Buddha’s time while residing at Jetavane Vihara in Savatthi, the Buddha answered Sariputta Thera’s questions about the results of the making rocket flower to worship the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha. The Buddha said that the person who was faithful in the Triple Gem and worshiped by only one rocket flower. The person will gain merit with worldly, heavenly and Nirvana treasures.
Colophon:
Folio 8 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat 1 hundred 609 (corresponding with CS 1169), a moeng mao year (year of the rabbit), on the sixth waning day of the third [lunar] month, the second [day] of the week, a poek sanga day, [the writing of this manuscript] was finished at the time of the sunset drum (between 13.30 – 15.00 o’clock). Chao Khanan Sinnavongsa had the religious faith to sponsor the making of [this manuscript entitled] Sòng Fai Dòkmai to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May I have much merit for the future. Nibbāna paccayo hotu (May this be a condition to reach Nirvāna).
