Description of manuscript content:

The text gives the story of Princess Khema who had a wrong view on her body. She was proud of her beauty and thought that nobody was more beautiful than her. When her husband persuaded her to listen to a Dhamma preaching given by Lord Buddha, she always rejected to join because she knew that the Buddha always defined beauty as impermanence: everything emerged, stayed and vanished.

Colophon:
