Description of manuscript content:
The text tells about the merit derived from worshiping the Tipitaka and this manuscript of Buaraphantha kaison. Any ones who are ordinary people, kings, Indra, Devas, Brahma, God of hell, Garuda, Naga, worshiped the three baskets of the Buddha’s teachings and the manuscript of Buaraphantha kaison which are the teachings of the five Buddha, with sand or iron or gold or silver stupas, gold or silver tiered umbrellas (settasat), flowers, rice, water, clothes, candles, will gain much merit for three hundred eons. Who were born as kings for five lives, then they would be born in heaven with heavenly castles with 12 yochana height (equal 192.000 meters).

Folio 9 on the recto side: In the Buddhist Era (BE) 2520, a hwai si year, on the third day of the waxing moon of the third lunar month, the writing was finished at noon. Mr. Sing had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Bualaphan Kaison Dokbuakham, to support the Teaching of Gotama Buddha. May I have much knowledge and realize the dhamma of the Buddha. On the other hand, may I attain the crystal city which is Nirvāna, may this not be ignored and may my wishes come true.
