Description of manuscript content:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta’s Grove near Savatthi giving a sermon describing the story of Devadatta Thera. Once upon a time, a king named Somphamit ruled the great city of Champa. He had a younger brother, Asomphamit, a Queen, Kaeoketsini, and two sons, Sayasena and Sayadatta. One day, Asomphamit planned to assassinate King Somphamit to obtain the royal throne. Fortunately, a loyal pasha informed the king. Then the king along with the queen and his two sons escaped from the kingdom. They traveled into a forest where they were in danger and experienced much suffering.

Colophon:

ปริปุนนะแล้วยามเที่ยงวันแกล่ข้าแล สักขาษได้ 157 ฯ ข้าหนานสุทธนะได้เขียนค้ำชูเณรทาแล ขอหื้อเปนประผลนาบุญแห่งข้าหื้อได้เถิงเวียงแก้วเนรัพพานแกล่ข้าแท้ดีหลีเทิอะ ฯ เณรอินทาได้หื้ออาวหนานสุทธนะเขียนฅ้ำชูแลเจ้าเฮิย ฯ เณรอินทาตนหน้อย อยู่วัดมนเทียรเมื่อนั้นแลเจ้าเฮิย ฯ The copying [of this manuscript] was finished at noon in CS 1257. I, Nan (ex-monk) Sutthana, copied the manuscript for Novice Intha from Wat Montian who is my grandson. May all of us attain Nibbāna [in the future]. Remark: The year corresponds to 1895 CE.

Other notes:

The first four folios are missing. The manuscript thus starts at folio five. The right corner is damaged. Many sentences are missing.
