Description of manuscript content:
When the Buddha was residing in the Jetavana Monastery, King Sutthacaka heard that he delivered a sermon of Sang Hòm That to a deity. Then the king went to the Buddha and asked him about the merit derived from listening to the sermon. The Buddha delivered a sermon to the king describing the details of benefits derived from listening to the sermon of Sang Hòm That.
Colophon:
Folio 24 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat (CS) 1276, a kap nyi year, on the eleventh day of the waxing moon of the twelfth [lunar] month, the seventh day of the week (Saturday), a kap set day, in the morning (6:00–7:30), the king of the front palace together with Sathu Nying (wife), children and all royal relatives had the most ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript-bundle entitled Sanghòm that to support the Teaching of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. Nibbāna paccayo hotu no nibbānaṃ paramaṃ sukkhaṃ (May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvana which is the greatest bliss).
