Description of manuscript content:

After that Gaddhanakumāra continued his journey until arriving at the City of Champā. He married a daughter of a rich man in the city. One day, the ruler of this city traveled to the forest and was caught by the Yakkha. The ruler begged for his life and promised the Yakkha that he would send a human to be eaten. After that a prisoner was sent and one day there was a prisoner left. Sīta, a daughter of the ruler, volunteered herself to be the Yakkha’s food. Gaddhanakumāra knew that and he then went to help Sīta. Finally, he married Sīta and governed the City of Champā.
