Description of manuscript content:

On one occasion, while dwelling in the Kundidana monastery in Kundiya Nakhon, the Buddha spoke to monks the story of Princess Suppavasa Koriya who was a daughter of King Koriya. Thus the Buddha delivered this sermon. At the time, Princess Suppavasa Koriy had been pregnant for seven years, but she could not give birth to her child. She was pain and tortured. Then she told her husband to ask the Buddha for help. The Buddha delivered a sermon to her. While listening to the Buddha’s preaching, she felt relieved, happy and satisfied. So, she invited the Buddha to have meal at her house for seven days.
