Colophon:

[The writing of this manuscript] was completed on Thursday. I, Novice Gaddhā, wrote this manuscript. I have recently started learning to inscribe palm-leaf manuscripts during my stay at Wat Ban Phang. I wish to attain the threefold happiness of which Nibbāna is the ultimate one. May this merit be transferred to my family members, lay supporters, and my friends. I wrote the manuscript to sustain the religion until the period of Metteyya Buddha coming. May I be reborn in the same period of Metteyya Buddha. Sadhu dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ.
