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. Nibbāna paccayo hotu no niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ May this merit be transferred to my family members. In CS 1227, a dap pao year, on the twelfth waning-moon day of the tenth [lunar] month, the seventh day of the week, I, Novice Sommana, wrote the manuscript during my stay of assistance to Sawathu Cao Luang Chaiyawut at Wat Ban Hong. My handwriting is not beautiful. Please correct any mistakes left. Monks and novices who use this manuscript for a sermon are suggested being careful.
