Okkāka, king of Kusavati, had two sons: Kusarāja and Jayavatti. Prince Kusarāja, who was very ugly, was married to Princess Pabhāvati. The two never met during the daytime. When Pabhāvati learned that her husband had a loathsome appearance, she fled and returned home. Prince Kusarāja followed her and begged her in vain to come back. Seeing that, Indra felt pity for the prince and came to his rescue. Pabhāvati consented to beg Kusarāja's pardon and King Maddarāja, Pabhāvati's father, arranged for a new wedding ceremony. After that, Prince Kusarāja took Pabhāvati back to Kusavati and reigned happily.
Colophon:
My handwriting is not beautiful. The letters are unstably small as hens’ eyes and big as buffalos’ eyes. The handwriting is just readable. Monks and novices who use the manuscript are suggested being careful. May the merit derived from writing this manuscript reward me with long lives in the present and future births and the threefold happiness: worldly happiness, heavenly happiness, and the supreme happiness or Nibbāna.
Iminā dhammasane anāgate kāle niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ.
