Description of manuscript content:

The content tells that while the Bodhisatta was an ascetic and practiced meditation in the forest, he survived with the fruits of a banyan tree for twenty years. When Bodhisatta missed his parents, he uttered the verse “Iddha vaka vanna savatthi hontu buddho rattanam etesu dhamme sangena suvatthi hontu”. Then he was laying. The power of this verse made Indra’s seat in heaven, which is regulary soft like yak fur harsh, and the mountains in the universe tremulous.
