Description of manuscript content:

Sakkapabba or Sakkaban (the section on Sakka or Indra) is the tenth section of the 13 sections of Veassantara Jataka. The content mentions Sakka or Indra transformed as a Brahmin and bagged Princess Maddi from Vessantara. Vessantara gave Maddi to the Brahmin. Then the Bramin gave Maddi back and also eight blessings to Vessantara such as may the people of the Sivi city forgive him and invite him back home.
