Description of manuscript content:

Panyaparami or Paññāpāramī (perfection of wisdom) is regularly used by a monk to read during delivering a sermon to people on the occasion of an auspicious ceremony. The text mentions the merit derived from reciting verses in number times. For examples “Buddho menatho dhammo menatho sangkho menatho; Buddham saranam gacchami dhammam saranam gacchami samkham saranam gacchami; Appamano buddho appamano dhammo appamano samkho”. The ones who have recited these Buddhist verses ten thousand or one hundred thousand times, after death, they will go to heaven.
