Colophon:
Folio 33 on the recto side: In the Buddhist Era (BE) 2 thousand 486 (corresponding with BE 2486), on the fourth waning day of the tenth [lunar] month, a kat mot day, the seventh day of the week (Saturday), the writing of this manuscript was finished at the time of the sunset drum (between 13.30-15.00 o’clock). Chan (Ex-monk) Thòngdi and his wife, Sao (Mrs.) Uan and their children had the ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Sutmon Nòi to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May all my wishes and desires come true, may all dangers vanish. Nibbāna paccayo hotu no niccaṃ duvaṃ duvaṃ (May this be a condition to reach Nirvāna constantly and certainly).
