Description of manuscript content:

One time, Khantharattha kingdom was invaded by a royal son of King Tannasila, who finished the subject of ten meditation devices. This was because the royal son asked King Tejugasippa for his permission to marry his daughter named Princess Samuddaja. King Tejugasippa told him to fight with Khantharattha kingdom. If he could conquer then he would marry his daughter.
