Description of manuscript content:

When the four young novices arrived at the brahmin’s house, the Brahmani saw the novice instead of old brahmins, she felt disappointed and complained with her husband. So she told her husband to invite four old brahmins to replace these four novices. Because the food was prepared just for old brahmins. At the time, she did not allow the novices to sit on the seats that she had prepared, and she did not offer food to the novices.
