Description of manuscript content:
The story of Venerable Uggasena. The content tells fellow monks asked Uggasena: “Did you not feel afraid when you came down from the top of the bamboo pole sixty cubits high? Thereupon, Uggasena replied: “Friends, I had not the slightest fright.” The monks went to the Buddha and report” Most Exalted Buddha, Uggasena has claimed to be arahant by telling lies that ‘he did not feel the slightest fright when he was coming down from the top of the pole’.” The Buddha gave them a brief explanation in support of Uggasena” “Dear monks, all the monks, like my son Uggasena, through eradication of āsavas (mental defilements) by cutting off the ten fetters (samyojana) are free from fright.”
