Description of manuscript content:
Suvanna ngenkham (The story of a golden civet). In the Buddha’s time, one occasion the Buddha spoke to the monks during giving a sermon about the story of a millionaire named Moha Setthi who had seven beautiful daughters including Anesa, Sumontha, Samavadi, Tema, Khema, Kesa and Siphimpha. One day the millionaire brought his daughters to the Neransara River to take a bath. At Neransara, the millionaire set all his daughters on a raft and flew it along the river. The seven girls cried loudly until the raft arrived in a jungle where the wildlife lived. There, Bodhisatta was born a golden civet and was head of the civets in the jungle. When he heard the voice of cry, he asked his clans to rescue the girls.
