Colophon:

[The writing of this manuscript] was completed in the evening. I am hungry. Birds are eating fruits of banyan trees; cows and buffalos are walking back home. [The writing of this manuscript] was completed on the fourth day of the week by Nòi (ex-novice) Suriya during his assistance stay to Thu Cao Chumphu on the first waning-moon day of the eleventh [lunar] month, the fourth day of the week. [The manuscript was written and dedicated] for Buddhism. May the life of Buddhism last long as the life of this manuscript. Sabbaññutañāṇa-nibbāna paccayo hotu metteyya anāgate niccaṃ dhuvaṃ nibbānaṃ (paramaṃ) sukkhaṃ May I become a Buddha.
