Description of manuscript content:

Sakkhatti or Chakhatti (the six nobles) is the twelfth of the 13 episodes of the Vessantara Jataka. The tells that King Sonsai (Sanjaya) accompanied by Queen Phussatī, Jali, Kanha and four ministers travelled to Mount Vamka in order to invite the ascetic Vessantara to return to Sivi. While the six nobles were facing each other, each of them was crying bitterly and they became unconscious. Then it started to rain which made everyone regain consciousness. Then all of them apologized to Vessantara for their mistakes and invited him to abandon his ascetic robe and return to the city.

Colophon:

[The writing of this manuscript] was completed on Tuesday. Monks and novices who use this manuscript are suggested being careful. Please correct any mistakes found. I really have a waist pain. My handwriting is unstably small as hens’ eyes and big as buffalos’ eyes.
