Description of manuscript content:

One day, his two friends who governed the two cities as told earlier, visited Gaddhanakumāra at the City of Champā. The two really wanted Sīta to be their wife. They were back to their cities and came back with the armies to fight with Gaddhanakumāra. However, Gaddhanakumāra won that war. He did not kill the two betrayed friends but forgave them and sent them back to govern their cities again.
