Description of manuscript content:

When the Bodhisattva (the one who will become a Buddha) was born as King Suttasom ruling Inthapat kingdom. He was arrested by one of his close friend, King Porisat of Varanasi, together with other 101 kings for killing to sacrifice. King Suttasom taught King Porisat to understand what is right and wrong, until King Porisat was remorseful. Finally, King Parisat released the Bodhisattva and all other kings and settled himself in the virtues of a king for his whole life.
