Description of manuscript content:
A Seṭṭhi (millionaire) living in Benares had two wives. The first wife, Sudhamma, had a daughter named Pu Gam while the second wife, Kāma, had a daughter called Sudha. Jealous of Sudhammā, Kāmā used a trick to convince the Setthi to kill his first wife. Pu Gam fled into the jungle and met Prince Brahmã who took her back to Benares. Later on, the Seṭṭhi tried to kill Pu Gam, but killed his own daughter by mistake. The Setthi and his wife were then sentenced to death by Prince Brahma.
Colophon:
[The writing of this manuscript] was completed at the time of the morning drum, when monks are having meal, in CS 1264, a tao yi year, on the fourth day of the week as the Mon say. My handwriting is not that beautiful.
