Colophon:
[The writing of this manuscript] was completed at the time of the forenoon horn. I wrote the manuscript during my stay at Wat Ban Chai. May the merit derived from inscribing this manuscript definitely reward me with sharp wisdom. In CS 1240, a poek yi year, on the fifth waxing-moon day of the tenth [lunar] month, the seventh day of the week, I wrote this manuscript to definitely transfer the merit to my family members. I, Monk Paññā, wrote the manuscript for the religion of Metteyya Buddha. May the life of Buddhism be prolonged as long as the life of this manuscript could exist.
