Description of manuscript content:

Nyòt Tham (the peak of the Dhamma) in Lao, or Cundasukarika Sutta in Pali, contains four fascicles. The manuscripts are popularly read by four monks during the nyot tham ceremony which is organized in a monastery or a house. The content describes the merit derived from paying homage and listening to the Cundasukarika Sutta in the way Dhammika Bandit did before. Through the merit's power, a miracle of lighting happened in the Tavatimsa Heaven. When God Indra realized this, he sent Mataliputta to take Dhammika to heaven and asked him about his practice.
