Abhidhamma Dhātukathā (Abhidhamma Piṭaka Dhātukathā) is the high level of Buddha’s teaching. The content is about the body, physical contact, and the four elements (solid element, liquid element, heating element and air element) which formed to be human body. While we are alive, we should consider that our bodies are impermanent, can change and perish finally. When we pass away, we cannot take our properties, lineage or relatives with us. Therefore, we must hurry to make merit, perform almsgiving, observe the religious precepts and do meditation which will be the benefit of making merit following us forever.
Colophon:
ปริปุณณะยามกองเดิกแก่ข้าน้อยแล ฯ ธาตุกถา ผูก ๓ ปารีแล ฯ สักราชได้ ๑๑๙๖ ตัว ปลีกาบสง้า เดินยี่ แรม ๑๒ ฅ่ำ วัน ๕ ไท เมืองไส้ ฯ
ขณานนันทิยะ ริกขิตตะอัตตโน โชฏักกะสาสนาพระพุทธโคดมเจ้า ตราบ ๕๐๐๐ ภวัสสาจิ่งแล ฯ
Dhātugathā, third fascicle, written in Pali. [I] finished copying [this manuscript] at the time of the night drum. In Cuḷasakarāja 1196, in the kap sanga year, on the twelfth waning-moon day of the second [lunar] month, the fifth day of the week, a müang sai day as the Tai [say]. Khanan (ex-monk) Nanthiya copied this manuscript on his own to ensure the continuation of the five-thousand-year [era] of the Teachings of Buddha.
Remark: Friday, 28 November 1834 (1196 Karttika 27). This day was, however, a kat met day. The nearest moeng sai day was Wednesday, 26 November 1834.
