Description of manuscript content:

This [sermon of the] Abhidhamma Piṭaka was delivered by the Buddha to his mother in Tāvatiṁsā Heaven. This Mahā Paṭṭhāna session or Paccaya 24 defines causes and factors of the Dhamma or emotions. For example, if we meritoriously behave, we will be reborn in heaven. If we sinfully behave, we will be reborn in hell. The fact is compared to a deeply rooted Bodhi tree that never falls down by storm. Emotions causing affection, anger, and delusion shake our minds. This is compared to the blind who depends on a rail for a walk or to a cowman who must remember the number and the characters of his cows in order to take care of them.

Colophon:

ปริปุนนะแล้วยามกองงายแกล่ข้าแลเจ้าเฮิย สักขาศ 1253 ตัว ปลีล้วงเหม้าวันนั้นแลนายเจ้าเฮิย ฯ The copying was finished at the time of the morning drum, CS 1253.
