Description of manuscript content:

Canda Kumara is the last seven birth of the Bodhisatta. In the kingdom of Pupphavati, good prince Canda Kumara served his father, King Ekaraja, as viceroy and became known throughout the realm for his patience and fairness in solving disputes. The chief court Brahmin named Khandahala had the ear of the king in all matters. Khandahala was jealous of Prince Canda on his good deed. One day, the Brahmin told the king to kill the prince for scarifying in order to dispel bad luck from the king’s nightmare.
