Description of manuscript content:

While Ora Phimpha was looking for her husband, Prince Pachitta, she met a rich couple whose daughter just died. She could cure the dead girl to be revived. The millionaire couple was so glad. So, they proposed to offer Ora Phimpha all their properties but she did not accept. Then she continued her travelling for looking for her husband. On the way, she also discovered many dead people and she helped to cure them to be revived. Finally, she realized that she could not find her husband and no way to find him. Then, she decided to be ordained as a nun in a temple.
