Description of manuscript content:

King Tejukhatasippa who ruled Phandhuvadi kingdom was a clever and powerful king. Even though he had a queen named Dipphasudda, he still wanted to have another wife. He sent a group of envoys bringing gifts to offer King Buddhakhosa and asked for daughter, Princess Uttaradani. King Buddhakhosa acknowledged that King Tejukhatasippa had his own queen. So, he did not agree with the request. Thus, King Tejukhatasippa sent his troops to fight with King Buddhakhosa. At the time, Princess Uttaradani asked for help from King Chanthakhat. Therefore, King Chanthakhat was fighting with King Tejukhatasippa and finally, he conquered.
