Description of manuscript content:

The story of Temiya Kuman (the mute prince), fascicle 4, tells that Temiya Kumman became a hermit and practiced perseverance in the forest and earned his life with leaves and fruits for his food. When his father, King Kasikarat knew that he came to Temiya and told him that you are you, you should succeed to the throne. You should not stay in the forest, you should be a ruler. When you are old, then you could come to the forest. Temiya spoke to his father that day and night have passed. People are getting old, ill and dying. External pleasures could not overcome death. I am free from all obligations to any properties. I intend to practice perseverance.
