Description of manuscript content:
Xiang Chorato travelled to a village named Tissakham. While he was lying down under a tree on the bank next to the village, where junks were mooring. At the night, a group of thieves set fire to the village. When the people came to the bank and saw Xiang Chorato there. They accused him as one of firemakers. Therefore, Xiang Chorato shot his magic gun into the burned village. Then all the burned houses revived, like before. Head of the village was afraid of the power of Xiang Chorato, so he presented his daughter named Nang Khamyat to Xiang Chorato as his wife.
