The text explains the results derived from sponsoring the making of the manuscripts of Eight Thousands (Paet Mün) and listening to the preaching of Tipitaka. Good results will support those with heavenly status. They will become God Indra and live in the Tavatimsa heaven for eighty thousand heavenly years. After their stay in heaven, they will return to earth and become emperors ruling kingdoms and will be respected by people.
