Description of manuscript content:

According to the teaching of the Buddha, those who give offerings to the monks who are attending the Parivasakam (probation) retreat will obtain much merit. And those who built an abode or offered food to the monks also will gain a lot of merit. After the death, they will be born as Devas and Indra in the heavens and enjoy the heavenly prosperity. Then they will be born in the human world and become the mighty kings.
