Description of manuscript content:

The story tells when Prince Siddhattha sneaked away and entered priesthood, making his wife, Princess Phimpha, feel hurt. She thought that she might have some deficiency as a good wife. Later, she hurted more and more when she heard that her husband, Siddhattha, was walking around the villages and cities to receive alms from villagers. She also thought that she was very comfortable in the palace, but her husband begged alms from others. People would think that she did not take good care of her husband. Thus, he left from her and became a clergyman.
