Description of manuscript content:

The Tipiṭaka (Three baskets) contains 84,000 categories of the Teachings of the Buddha divided into three categories: Vinaya, Suttanta, and Abhidhamma. Vinaya pitaka – the basket of discipline Suttanta pitaka – the basket of discourses Abhidhamma pitaka – the basket of the sublime

Colophon:

Folio 16 on the recto – verso side: [The writing of this manuscript was finished] in BE 2526, CS 1345, a ka khai year (Kun – the Year of the Pig), on the fifteenth day of the waxing moon of the sixth [lunar] month, a Tuesday, corresponding to 26 April 1983. Pha Phui Thiracitto from Vat Pha Maha That Rajabovoravihan, Luang Prabang municipal, had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Paet Mün to support the Teachings of the Buddha and to be dedicated as the religious properties to Vat Pha Maha That Rajabovoravihan, Luang Prabang municipal. May I dedicate the benefits derived from this merit to all beneficiaries: parents, siblings, teachers, all beings creatures who are also in the cycle of rebirths and those who have already passed away to the other world. If you acknowledge this by any of your ways, please say congratulation to achieve the advantages in your blissful stages of existence.

Other notes:

May the benefits derived from this merit lead me to the heaven realm, to achieve human and heavenly prosperities and to successfully attain Nibbāna in the future. Isitaṃ pattitaṃ mayahaṃ kibbameva samecantu niccaṃ dhuvaṃ.
