Once upon a time, the Buddha taught the Bhikkus using a special case of a monk who went to alms round and fell in love with a girl and this monk really wanted to disrobe. The Buddha gave his past life as an example. He said that he was born as a prince named “Kussarāja.” This prince was born with excellent knowledge but was ugly. His father wanted the prince Kussarāja to be his successor and got married. The father tried to find a beautiful elite girl and that girl was Pabhāvatī who was a princess of Sāgala City. After having been married, they lived in the same room, but would not be able to see the face of each other. While living as a couple, Kussarāja defamed his wife by throwing stools of elephants or/and horses. Finally, Pabhāvatī knew that her husband was ugly and that she could not stand anymore and then ran away. After that, Kussarāja went to meet Pabhāvatī.

In CS 1241, a kat mao year, on the second waning-moon day of the first [lunar] month, the sixth day of the week, at the time of the forenoon horn, Mahā Braḥma completed the writing of this manuscript with his own hand. May the merit support me and my family members. I wrote this manuscript to sustain the continuation of Buddhism long as the life of the manuscript. I wrote it at Ban Long during my stay of assistance to Mahā Sawathu Cao Sommano from Wat Phra Cedi Luang, Müang Khoei.
