Description of manuscript content:

The content mentions about the assembly of the monks for listening to the recitation of Patimokkha on the Buddhist days and the changes of some words according to the year with an extra eighth lunar month. Listening to the recitation of Patimokkha means reviewing the 227 rules of Bhikkhus. The recitation ceremony is performed in every fifteen waxing and waning days.

Colophon:

Folio 16 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat (CS) 1287, a hap pao year, on the eighth waning day of the fifth [lunar] month, [the writing was finished]. Chao Mòm (monk) Phò Bunma had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Pan Upo (Uposot) to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May all my wishes and desires come true. Nibbāna paccayo hotu no nibbāna paramaṃ sukhaṃ (May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvāna which is the greatest bliss).
