Description of manuscript content:
Temiya Jataka is one of the ten great birth stories of the Buddha, tells the story of when the Bodhisattva was born as Temiya, the mute prince. The content of this third fascicle mentions when the king gave the queen grant for giving the throne to her son, Temiya. She asked a speaker to inform the people to acknowledge that since that day until to the next seventh days, the throne belongs to Temiya. Then the people decorated the city with flowers.
Colophon:
Folio 25 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat (CS) 1219, a moeng sai year, on the eighth waxing day of the twelfth [lunar] month, a hwai set day, the first day of the week (Sunday), the writing of this manuscript was finished at the time of the morning drum (between 7.30–9.00 o’clock). Nang Phia Na Nue and Ai Ming had the ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Pitaka Nisai Temiya to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. Nibbāna paccayo hotu dhuvaṃ niccaṃ paramaṃ sukkhaṃ (May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvāna which is the state of the greatest bliss, contantly and certainly).
