Description of manuscript content:

In the village Sanekka of Uruwela, there lived a maiden named Sujata, the daughter of a rich man. She had made a vow to the angel established in a great banyan-tree, that if she married a worthy husband, and if her first-born proved to be a son, she would yearly make an immense offering in honor of the angel of the tree. At night, the Bodhisatta dreamed of five good omens. That made him confident that he would attain enlightenment definitely.
