Acikarāja, king of Brahmadatta, had two queens: Canda and Sidki. One day, Queen Sinki used a stratagem to have Queen Canda banished from the kingdom. The unfortunate queen sought refuge in the home of an elderly couple and gave birth to a son who was called Kam Ka Dam. When he heard this, King Acikaraja had the mother and child abandoned on a raft. The raft drifted all the way down to Benares where Kam Ka Dam took shelter in the home of an old woman and married, afterwards, a princess. Indra built a magnificent city where the hero sheltered his mother before taking her back to Brahmadatta. Sinki and her accomplices were swallowed by the earth. The hero then returned to Benares where he reigned happily thereafter.
Colophon:
I completed the writing of this manuscript in early afternoon in CS 1276, a kap yi year, on the sixth waxing-moon day of the eleventh [lunar] month, the third day of the week as the Mon say. Monk Mahāvaṃsa wrote the manuscript with his own hand to sustain the continuation of Buddhism [to last until the end of] 5,000 years. May I definitely be reborn with supreme wisdom. May the merit derived from writing this manuscript be also transferred to my family members. [I wrote the manuscript] during my stay of assistance to Thu Luang Chaiya at Wat Si Bun Rüang Ban Hong, the south of Hariphunchai.
