Description of manuscript content:
The story tells one of the previous lives of the Buddha. Bodhisatta was born as Dhammi manva in Pharanasi. The Bodhisatta had a younger sister named Mutthutarat. The parents died when they were younger. Therefore, the Bodhisatta looked after his sister until she was sixteen years old. She became the queen of the king of Pharanasi. Thus, the Bodhisatta was appointed as advisor to the king.
