Description of manuscript content:
While Prince Pachitta and his wife, Ora Phimpha were travelling into the jungle, they met a hunter. When the hunter saw Ora Phimpha who was so beautiful, he fell in love with her at first sight. So, the hunter killed Prince Pachitta by his archer for possessing Ora Phimpha. Then he took Ora Phimpha to his home. On the way, Ora Phimpha killed the hunter by Prince Pachitta’s sword. Then, she came back to her dead husband. She cried with sorrow. Thereafter, Indra sent Visukam Devaputta bringing a magic medicine to cure the prince revived.
