When Kittikumāra, born in a needy family of Benares, had reached adolescence, King Brahmadatta sent him to fetch a thousand petal lotus blossom. Bearing magic weapons given to him by Indra Kittikumāra reached the land of the yakşas where he married the king's daughter. Having learned from a hermit that the lotus he was looking for grew in Manorah's garden, Kittikumāra set out again and reached a lake in which seven kinnaris were bathing. After having married Manorah, Kittikumāra took the lotus blossom and brought it back to King Brahmadatta. When the king died, Kittikumāra was asked by the dignitaries to succeed him on the throne.

[The writing of this manuscript] was completed on the fifth day of the week. I wrote the manuscript when I was a young monk. My handwriting is small-sized. Sīvijaya wrote the manuscript at Wat Ban Hong Kaeo Dòn Than, surrounded by Cobretums, near the main road. May the merit derived from writing the manuscript be transferred to my family members, my teachers, and all lay supporters. [The writing of the manuscript] was completed on the eighth waning-moon day of the tenth [lunar].
