Description of manuscript content:

Prince Chao Buarawong and Prince Chao Suriya are sons of King Phra Chao Phalai and Mrs Chanthra. When they grew up, they missed their home country. Prince Chao Suriya becomes a king. Prince Chao Buarawong had undertaken a journey and was cheated by a vicious wealthy man who took his crystal ball and sold it to the city ruler. The daughter of the city ruler helped him, and they got married to a millionaire. Later, Prince Buarawong helped his mother and brought her back to his palace. But a daughter of the millionaire helps him and finally Chao Buarawong marries her.

Colophon:

[The writing of this manuscript] was completed in early afternoon in CS 1227, a kat pao year, in the rainy season, on the twelfth waning-moon day of the tenth [lunar] month, the fifth day of the week. Monk Suriya wrote the manuscript with his own hand during his stay of assistance to Sawathu Cao Chaiyawut at Wat Ban Hong. Nibbānaṃ paramaṃ sukhaṃ. I wrote this manuscript to ensure that Buddhism will be prolonged [until the end of] 5,000 years or to last as long as the life of this manuscript.
