Description of manuscript content:
Sakkapabba or Sakkaban (the section on Sakka or Indra) is the tenth section of the 13 sections of Veassantara Jataka. The content mentions about Sakka or Indra transformed as a Brahmin and bagged Princess Maddi from Vessantara. Vessantara gave Maddi to the Brahmin. Then the Bramin gave Maddi back and also eight blessings to Vessantara such as may the people of the Sivi city forgive him and invite him to back home.
Colophon:
[The writing of this manuscript was completed] in CS 1280, a poek sanga year, on the thirteenth waning-moon day of the tenth [lunar] month, Dutiya, the seventh day of the week as the Mon say, at the time of the forenoon horn. Monk Sīvijaya wrote the manuscript so that the religion could last until [the end of] 5,000 years or long as the life of the manuscript. May I definitely become a Buddha. Nibbāna paccayo hotu no niccaṃ. I finished this manuscript on the same day as Chakkhattiya episode.
