Description of manuscript content:

Mullatantrai was to provide good lessons to governors and soldiers who performed duties as judges. These were to encourage them to judge cases fairly and to cultivate good morals and behaviour.

Colophon:

[The writing of this manuscript] was completed at the time of the noon horn. Khanan (ex-monk) Chaimongkhon wrote this manuscript for Sawathu Cao Khruba Sommana of Wat Ban Hong Si Bun Rüang in CS 1259, a ka rao year, on the tenth waning-moon day of the fifth [lunar] month, the fourth day of the week. May the merit derived from writing this manuscript be transferred to me and my family members. My handwriting is unstably big and small. Please be careful when using the manuscript. I just followed the referential version.
