Description of manuscript content:
The king of Jetuttara Nagara, had three sons: Anilla, Gandha and Sujavannacakka. Meanwhile, in Rajagrha, a young woman named Khemavati who had drunk some urine left by a bull in one of his tracks gave birth to a girl named Ummādanti. Once grown up, Ummadanti went in search of her father, the bull. While crossing a forest, she met Prince Sujavanṇacakka. After having flirted for a while, they both fell in love with each other. The prince brought Ummādanti to Jetuttara Nagara where King Jumbu had his son ascend the throne and conducted a wedding ceremony. After having reigned for some time, Sujavanṇácakka and Ummadanti went back to the jungle and became hermits.
Colophon:
[The writing of this manuscript] was completed by me, Bimmasāra, who came from Phayao to stay here. I inscribed the manuscript during my stay of assistance to Khruba Sommaṇa at Wat Ban Hong Luang. My handwriting was beautiful. Nibbāna paccayo hontu me metteyya santike anāgate niccaṃ niccaṃ. vata nibbānaṃ sukhaṃ vata nibbānaṃ sāraṃ vatta nibbānaṃ nibbānaṃ paramaṃ sukhaṃ nicaṃ ฯ May all my wishes be fulfilled.
