Description of manuscript content:

While residing at the Buppharam monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha spoke to King Pasenadi about the merit derived from making flags to worship the Triple Gem. The Buddha gave an example. In the time of Vipassi Buddha, a poor couple who had the most ardent religious faith in the Triple Gem made a flag in order to worship the Triple Gem. During preparing the flag, the husband suddenly died. With his faithful mind, he occurred in Tavatimsa Heaven as a divinity and possessed a lot of heavenly treasures.
