Description of manuscript content:

Ai Kampha (orphan) who was a temple boy and lived with a monk in the monastery in Savatthi. One day, Ai Kampha travelled to other city by a ship with other 500 merchants for trading. But Ai Kampha did buy anything but he learnt incantations. Before returning, all the ships were landing on the land because of low tide. Therefore, Ai Kampha used his incantation to blow the ships away from the land. Then the 500 merchants gave him much money. This was the result of merit derived from making fire boats for worshiping in his previous life.
