Colophon:
Folio 7 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat, a kot set year, on the twelfth waxing day, the sixth day of the week (Friday) of the eighth [lunar] month. The writing of this manuscript was finished at the time of the morning drum (between 9.00 – 10.30 o’clock). Chao Khanna (ex-monk) Phommapanya had the ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Sai Luang, to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May I reach the crystal city which is Nirvāna and may I be ordained in the institution of Pha Ariya Mettaya (Maitreya), who will emerge in the world in the future, may this not be ignored. Nibbāna paccayo hotu dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ (May this be a condition to reach Nirvāna certainly).
