Description of manuscript content:
Fasamang Kham, the heavenly message from Indra to human beings in the world. The content contains the protective text of khatha (verses) in Pali in order to recite. In Sangkat (Culasakkarat) 1250 (AD 1888) there happened a war and dangers for all human beings. The bad persons who are lacking of morality and not respected to each other would be killed by themselves. Only the ones who are aware of good deed and follow the Teachings of the Buddha would escape from the dangers. The ones who have this Fasamangkham text in their houses would also be safe from all bad happenings.
