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 at the time of the morning drum in CS 1239, a moeng pao year. I wish for sharp wisdom, Nibbāna, even better appearance than others, and a new rebirth in the period of Metteyya Buddha. I am Monk Guṇā from Wat Ban Pang.
