This manuscript bundle comprises seventeen fascicles. The cover was lacquered and glided with gold leaves. The wooden marker was written with black ink and reads “this palm-leaf manuscript includes seventeen fascicles of Pāli Vibhaṅgapakaraṇa. The sponsors were Mün Net, his wife, and his relatives who copied this manuscript to ensure the continuation of the five-thousand-year Buddhist era.” (The left side of the first folio) “Vibhaṅgapakaraṇa, first fascicle.”
