Prince Suvatta, son of the king of Benares, picked up, one day, a flower garland and went in search of the girl who had made it. He found her and married her. She was Bou Kham (Miss Golden Lotus), a hermit's adoptive daughter. During a stroll in the forest, Suvatta was killed by a hunter. The young woman avenged her husband's death, but was bitten by a snake. Saved by the king of Saňkassa who took her to his kingdom, pov Gam had pictures representing certain events of her life drawn on the walls of a pavilion located in the center of the city. Brought back to life by Indra, Suvatta set out in search of his beloved and, along the way, married Gavati, daughter of the king of nagas, and Suddha, a yakşa's daughter. Having reached the city of Sankassa, he saw the pictures and was reunited with Bou Kham (Miss Golden Lotus). He returned to Benares with his three wives and ascended the throne.

May all of us attain the Nibbāna. Khanan (ex-monk) Thephin inscribed this manuscript for Svādhu Cao Sommaṇa from Wat Ban Hong Kaeo Kwang, near the main road.

Please be very careful when using this manuscript because my handwriting was not beautiful. Please correct any mistakes left. Since I was distracted by my children and grandchildren, I lost concentration.
