Colophon:
Folio 14 on the recto side: In BE 2522, a kat mot year, on the sixth day of the waxing moon of the eighth [lunar] month, a Saturday, Phui Thiracitta Maha Thera from Vat Pha Maha That Rajabovoravihan, the ecclesiastical head of the province of Luang Prabang, the ecclesiastical head of the sub-district of Vat That and the abbot of Vat Pha Maha That Rajabovoravihan, Luang Prabang, [sponsored the writing of this manuscript]. May I dedicate this merit to beneficiaries such as siblings, parents, teachers and all being creatures. May all beings who are in the cycle of rebirths, ages, illnesses and deaths be happy and free from hatred and violence. May all beings be happy. Nibbāna paccaya hotu no (May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvana.).
