Description of manuscript content:

Colophon:
[The writing of this manuscript] was completed at the time of the morning drum, on the seventh waning-moon day of the ninth [lunar] month, the sixth day of the week. I, Nan (ex-monk) Rin, wrote the manuscript with my own hand when I was a lay expert of Khruba Sommana at Wat Si Bun Rüang Ban Hong in CS 1263, a ruang pao year. I wrote the manuscript to sustain the continuation of the Teacings of the Buddha to last until [the end of] 5,000 years. May this merit support me. Arahattamaggaphala nibbāna paccayo hotu me metteyya buddhasantike anāgate niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ.
