Description of manuscript content:
Subrahmokkha had a nine-tailed dog. When his father died, he went to clear a plot in the forest. Indra came down to earth to help him and gave Miss khai Fa to be his wife. The king of Matura Nagara who coveted the hero's wife, sent him to look for a lotus blossom in the land of the nagas. Along the way, the hero married King of ant's daughter and the daughter of the king of nagas. When the king died, he was asked to ascend the throne.
Colophon:
[The writing of this manuscript] was completed at the time of the evening drum, in CS 1267, a dap sai year, on the fifth waning-moon day of the twelfth [lunar] month, the third day of the week. I, Monk Indavijaya, wrote the manuscript with his own hand. My handwriting is not that beautiful. I wrote the manuscript during my stay of assistance to Sawathu Khruba Sommana at Wat Si Bun Rüang Ban Hong in Dong Khoei area. May the merit derived from writing the manuscript be transferred to my family members. May I possess sharp wisdom to understand all the 84,000 Dhamma collections. I wish to attain the threefold happiness of which Nibbāna is the ultimate one.
