The Bodhisattva was once reborn in a needy family of Benares. The child soon lost his mother and, his father having remarried, was chased from his house by his step-mother. Bodhisattva and his dog "ruy" went to seek refuge with a yakşa. Once an adolescent, he went to Saňkassa where he saved the life of Princess Brohm Pan who had been sacrificed to a yakṣa in place of her father. Bodhisattva having slain the yakşa, the king of Sankassa gave him his daughter as well as his kingdom.
Colophon:
[The writing of this manuscript was completed] in CS 1282, a kot san year, on the twelfth waxing-moon day of the twelfth [lunar] month, the fourth day of the week as the Mon say, a ka met day as the Tai say, the twentieth propitious time, at the time of the forenoon horn. I, Monk Yasamut, wrote this manuscript when I had ordained for three years, almost four years, during my stay with Monk Mahāvaṃsa at Wat Si Bun Rüang Ban Hong Luang, Li district.

I, Monk Yasamut, wrote this manuscript and wish to attain Nibbāna in the future. Caused by evil sin, I wrote this manuscript in a hurry with confusion. My concentration was weak, but I could later calm down. Please forgive me for that.
