Colophon:

[The writing of this manuscript] was completed in CS 1263, on the seventh day of the week, on the fifteenth waning-moon day of the ninth [lunar] month, at the time of the evening drum. My handwriting is totally not beautiful. I, Novice Paññā, wrote the manuscript to dedicate the merit to Khruba Sommana. Nibbāna paccayo hotu niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ. I desire Nibbāna, namely the threefold happiness of which Nibbāna is the ultimate goal. May the merit derived from writing this manuscript support my family members to reach Nibbāna.
