Colophon:
[The writing of this manuscript] was completed in CS 1263, a ruang pao year, on the sixth waxing-moon day of the fifth [lunar] month, the sixth day of the week, at the time of the evening drum. I, Khanan (ex-monk) Rin Acan (teacher), wrote this manuscript with my own hand. Khruba Sommana also wrote the manuscript to sustain the continuation of the Teachings of the Buddha to last until [the end of] 5,000 years. May the merit support me, my family members, my friends, and my teachers. Nibbāna paccayo hontu metteyya buddhasantike anāgate kāle niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ.
