Description of manuscript content:

The content tells of a master monk and his disciple called Ai Kampha (an orphan man). The monk sent Ai Kampha to study in Takkasila city for years. When he returned, the monk asked him what did you learn. Ai Khampha informed his master that what I have learnt is the knowledge concerning our world. For example, ten meats are not like fish; ten relatives and cousins are not like a parent; ten parents are not like a husband or wife; ten husbands or wives are not like the Triple Gem.
