Description of manuscript content:

The text describes the cycle of lives in saṃsāra starting with birth, age, illness and death. The places where all beings are born after death include hells, jinns, specters, beasts, human world and heavens. The condition of each place is different. The Buddha performed his perfections for 24 asongkhai (number followed by 140 zeros ) and one hundred great eons. Finally, the Buddha attained enlightenment and became the Blessed One and taught his followers on how to escape from saṃsāra. The wise persons should perform only good deed. The other texts are of Khadi lok khaditham (Worldly affairs and Dhamma affairs), and Khatha Chatuvik (Catuvika incantation).
