Description of manuscript content:
The Bodhisatta was born as Prince Pachitta Kumara, the son of King Pathumut of Pathumuttara Nakhon. When he was grown up, his father asked him to choose a partner in marriage by selecting from 33,000 girls from the city. But the prince was not interested in anyone at all. One day, Pachitta Kumara travelled to Champa Nakhon. There, he found a farmer couple. The wife was getting pregnant. He stayed with them and helped them to do the farm. He promised them that if their child is a girl he will marry her. Later, the wife gave birth of a girl whose name was Ora Phimpha.
