Description of manuscript content:
Vanappavesana (the forest-entry section) is the fourth section of the 13 sections of the Vessantara jataka. The contents describe that Prince Vessantara led Princess Maddi, Jali and Kanha to Mount Vamka. On their way to Mount Vamka they were welcomed by King Jetarat. The king asked Prince Vessantara to rule Jetarat kingdom together with him. But Prince Vessantara denied and asked the king for directions to Vamka hill. When they arrived at Mount Vamka, they separately stayed in two Sala (pavilion) which had already been erected there.
