Description of manuscript content:
Chunthasukarika Sutta consists of 4 parts containing in the same fascicle. The first two parts are written in Pali, and the last two parts are in Lao. The story is that Dhammika Bandit paid respect and listened to the Chunthasukarika Sutta which read by four monks, and then he gave them offerings. He got the heap of merit. The supernatural halo happened. The light of the halo was shining to Tavatiamsa Heaven. Thus, Indra sent Matali Devaputta to bring Dhammika Bandit to the heaven and asked him about what result of the merit that he has done and the light happened.
Colophon:
Folio 39 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat (CS) 1276, a kap nyi year, on the third waxing day of the seventh [lunar] month, the fourth day of the week (Wednesday), a ka pao day, the writing of this manuscript was finished at the time of the morning drum (between 7.30–9.00 o’clock). Chao Heuane Chantharasi and Somlatsami had the ardent religious faith to jointly sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Nyòttham to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha. May our wishes and desires come true. May I meet Pha Ariya Metteya (Maitreya) who will emerge and be enlightened as the Buddha in the future. Sādhu sādhu anumodāmi (Amen! Amen! I rejoice).
