Colophon:

Folio 25 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat 16 (corresponding with CS 1316), a poek sanga year, on the thirteenth waning day of the tenth [lunar] month, the first day of the week (Sunday), a kat mot day, the writing of this manuscript was finished at the time of the evening horn (between 15.00–16.30). Nang (Mrs.) Phia Müang Kang and her children had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Arunnavadisut to support the Teachings of the Buddha. May my wishes and desires come true. Nibbāna paramaṃ sukhaṃ (Nirvāna is the greatest bliss).
