Description of manuscript content:

Nemirat or King Nemi is the last fourth birth of the Bodhisatta. Nemi Kumara was successor to his father ruling a city. The king regularly conducts goodness; he is able to travel to heavens and hells. One day, the king is telling his ministers and people what he had seen in the hells for example, the hell of feces. He saw hell animals eating feces and urine for their meals. Their conditions came from their actions of betraying to their loyal friends.
