Description of manuscript content:
When no ruler dared to answer Princess Suvanna Phimpha Khanun Ngio’s questions. Then King Phommadata announced that if any pundit who could answer his daughter’s question, he would offer him the princess. Later, the Bodhisatta could answer all the princess’s questions. Thus the king allowed him to marry the princess.
