Colophon:
[The writing of this manuscript] was completed at the time of the forenoon horn in CS 1227, a ruang pao year, on the first waxing-moon day of the eleventh [lunar] month, the sixth day of the week. Monk Nārada wrote almost every folio; Monk Dhananjaya wrote six folios; Monk Sommana wrote four folios. May this merit derived from writing this manuscript definitely reward us with heaven, sharp wisdom to understand the Dhamma, and the threefold happiness of which Nibbāna is the ultimate goal. Sabbadānaṃ. May I attain Nibbāna. May the merit derived from my precept observance and generosity bring me away from all kinds of danger. May devils be never able to approach me nor prevent me from heaven. May the merit support me to reach Nibbāna.
