Description of manuscript content:

The content tells about the merit derived from building an abode or vihara. Those who built a vihara or a kuti (dwelling) and offered it the Sangha for their dormitory will gain much results. They will be possible to wish for the three stages of happiness such as happiness in the human world, heavens and in Nirvana. They will obtain arahanta at the place of the future Buddha named Ariya Metteyya.
