Description of manuscript content:

The text explains the meaning of Tanhā (craving), Lobha (greed) and Raga (lust) which are based on Moha (delusion). Tanhā (craving) consists of 3 elements: Kāma-tanhā (craving for sensual pleasure), Bhava-tanhā (craving for existence) and Vibhava-tanhā (craving for non-existence).

Colophon:

Folio 23 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat (CS) 1269, a moeng mot year, a kot sanga day, on the thirteenth day of the waxing moon of the twelfth [lunar] month, the first day of the week (Sunday), at the time of the morning drum (7:30–9:00), the writing of this manuscript was finished. Sathu (monk) Phumma had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Satipatthan to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. Suddhinaṃ vattame dānaṃ nibbāna paccaya hotu no niccaṃ dhuvaṃ (May the benefits derived from this merit be a condition for us to reach Nirvana, constantly and certainly).
