Description of manuscript content:

The first folio is missing. The text mentions about a conversation between a monk and a deity about the result of merit and demerit. Even though it is little but the consequence is greatest.

Colophon:

Folio 28 on the recto side: In BE 2516, a ka pao year, on the tenth waning day of the first [lunar] month, the sixth day of the week (Friday), [the writing was finished]. Sathu Phò (monk) Chanda from Vat Thatnoi had the most ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May all our wishes and desires come true. Even I wish for Manussa-sampatti (human prosperity), Deva-sampatti (heavenly prosperity) or Nibbāna-sampatti (successful attainment of Nirvāna); may all my wishes come true please. Suddhinaṃ vattame dhanaṃ nibbānaṃ paramaṃ sukhaṃ yacami sādhu sādhu anumodāmi (May the alms I have already given be the condition for me to reach Nirvāna which is the greatest bliss. Amen! Amen! I rejoice).
