Description of manuscript content:

The Bodhisattva was reborn in Benares under the Name of Jampuraja (Taeng Kheaw). Once grown up, he went trading abroad. Having reached an is-land, he grew melons all by himself. As seven kinnaris had come to ransack his plantation, Jampuraja (Taeng Kheaw) captured one of them, Manorah, and kept her as hostage. King Udumbara sent to Jampuraja (Taeng Kheaw) a large quantity of gold and silver to ransom his daughter. Having become rich, the hero left the island and went to Benares where, after having built a golden bridge between his house and the palace, he married the king's daughter and finally succeeded his father-in-law on the throne.

Colophon:

Nibbāna paccayo hontu no niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ [The writing of this manuscript] was completed on a Sunday, on the fourth waning-moon day of the 12th month, at the time of the forenoon horn. My handwriting is not beautiful. The principal initiator was Nòi (ex-novice) Ya, together with his wife and children, who sponsored the writing of this manuscript titled Surindajambū with provisional items. May I attain the threefold happiness of which Nibbāna is the ultimate one.
