Colophon:

[The writing of this manuscript] was completed in early afternoon in CS 1227, a ruang pao year, on the tenth waning-moon day of the tenth [lunar] month, the third day of the week. May this merit support me and my family members. I, Novice Sommana, wrote this manuscript during my stay of assistance to Sawathu Cao Luang Chai. Nibbāna paccayo hotu no niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ. I wrote this manuscript for Buddhism and wish the religion be long as the life of this manuscript.
