Mahāvana or Mahapon means the great forest and is the seventh episode of the 13 episodes of Vessantara Jataka. It tells of the Brahmin Jūjaka who was wandering through the small forest and then met the ascetic Accuta who greeted him politely. The Brahmin lied to the ascetic that he was an emissary from Siphirat and the ascetic trusted him and welcomed with fruits and invited him to stay overnight in his hut. The next morning, the ascetic showed the Brahmin the way to Mount Vamkata.

[The writing of this manuscript was completed] in CS 1225, a ka khai year, on the sixth waning-moon day of the twelfth [lunar] month, the seventh day of the week, by Novice Sommana. My handwriting is totally not beautiful. May the merit derived from writing this manuscript support my family members and my teachers. I wrote the manuscript to sustain the continuation of Buddhism [to last until the end of] 5,000 years or long as the life of this manuscript. I wrote the manuscript during my stay of assistance to Sawathu Cao Luang Chaiyawut.
