Pha Malai helps hells. Pha Malai or Mahathepphamalai Thera lived in Kamphosakham village in the suburbs of the contient. He was a merit and powerful monk who could go down to hells and ascend to heavens. One day, while the Venerable was walking for collecting alms, a poor man who brought 8 lotus flowers from a pond to offer to him. When the Venerable accepted the lotus, he thought that, “I should bring these lotuses to worship Ketkaeo Chulamani pagoda in Tāvatiṃsa heaven. After thinking that, he made meditation and went up immediately. After worshiping and he walked around the pagoda, the Venerable also met Indra who came to worship the pagoda as well, so they had a conversation. Colophon: Folio 16 on the recto side: Chunlasangkat 2 thousand 4 hundred and 89 (corresponding with BE 2468), a hwai set year, on the third day of the waning moon of the sixth lunar month, the seventh day of the week (Saturday), a tao si day, [the writing was accomplished] at the time of kòng ngai (between 7.30–9.00 o’clock). The initiator, Thit Suk and his wife, Sao Khoem together with children, grandchildren and all relatives had the ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript [entitled] Lam Mahasat 16 phuk, and Malai mün (Vessantara Jataka in full set of 16 fascicles and one fascicle of Malai mün) to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May our wishes and desires come true. Nibbāna paccayo hontu no niccaṃ dhuvaṃ (May this be a condition for us to reach Nibbāna, constantly and certainly).
