Description of manuscript content:
One day, King Nemirat wished to view the places of devil-doers and of meritorious-doers. He thought of these two places I have never seen. Then he asked Mataliputta that you please bring me to these two places. Thus, Mataliputta first brought the king to hells. Though King Nemirat viewed the fifteen hells, he felt frightened and thought that I would tell the situations of these places to my ministers and people in order to prevent them from doing bad.
