The [writing of this manuscript] was completed in the morning. I started writing it last night. My handwriting is not beautiful. On the seventh day of the week [the writing was done]. The manuscript commission was sponsored by Saen Luang Inthaphongsa, his beloved wife named Mrs. Kiangkaeo, and his family to ensure the continuation of the five-thousand-year [era] of the Teachings of Buddha.
