Mahāvana or Mahapon means the great forest and is the seventh episode of the 13 episodes of Vessantara Jataka. It tells of the Brahmin Jūjaka who was wandering through the small forest and then met the ascetic Accuta who greeted him politely. The Brahmin lied to the ascetic that he was an emissary from Siphirat and the ascetic trusted him and welcomed with fruits and invited him to stay overnight in his hut. The next morning, the ascetic showed the Brahmin the way to Mount Vamkata.

[The writing of this manuscript was completed] in CS 1280, a poek sanga year, on the third waxing-moon day of the tenth [lunar] month, the third day of the week. Monk Sīvijaya wrote the manuscript so that the religion could last until [the end of] 5,000 years or as long as the life of the manuscript. May I definitely become a Buddha.
