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 in early morning at the time of the morning drum, CS 1239, a moeng pao year, on the second waxing-moon day of the first [lunar] month, the third day of the week. I, Monk Phrom, inscribed the manuscript but my handwriting was not beautiful because I am not good at inscribing palm-leaf manuscripts. My handwriting was only readable. I inscribed the manuscript at Wat Ban Hong. May the merit support my family members. I inscribed the manuscript for Svādhu Cao Luang Sommaṇa, Wat Ban Hong.
