Description of manuscript content:
Once upon a time, the Bodhisatta was born as King Bheyya, a son of a king of Hongsawadi city. He was treated unfairly and driven away from the city. He was then helped by God Indra god and could overcome all problems. He was finally back and became a king.
Colophon:
Nibbāna paccayo hontu me metteyya santike anāgate kāle niccaṃ dhuvaṃ niccaṃ vatta nibbānanaṃ sālaṃ vatta nibbānaṃ sukkhaṃ vatta nibbānaṃ nibbānaṃ paramaṃ sukhaṃ. May the merit derived from writing this religious manuscript support me to be definitely reborn in the period of Metteyya Buddha. May I be endowed with sharp wisdom. Khanan (ex-monk) Teja wrote the manuscript with his own hand to dedicate the merit to Khruba Luang Sommana of Wat Luang Ban Hong in CS 1263, a ruang pao year, on the thirteenth waning-moon day of the fourth [lunar] month, the fifth day of the week.
