Description of manuscript content:

The content tells King Menander went with his 500 royal servants to the temple. After lighting candles and incense for worshiping, the king sat down and asked many questions to Venerable Nakasena on what is Nakasena. The king’s questions as following: What name have you been given? Are the 32 elements with head hair and so on Nakasena? Are the five aggregates with corporeality and so on Nakasena? Are the six internal sense-fields with eyes and so on nakasena? Are the four elements with the earth and so on nakasena?” Then Venerable Nakasena gave his answers to all the questions until the king was satisfied.
