The content tells about the story of two brothers, the elder named Sukkhato and the younger named Sukkathanang. One day, the older brother took his blind brother and left him in the forest. In that forest, there was a very kind hermit, who raised 3 tigers and named them Buddhang, Thammang and Sangkhang. When the three tigers met Sukkathanang standing by a tree, they thought that they would catch him as food, so they agreed to let the tiger Buddha go in and take him. When the tiger Buddhang went close to Sukkathanang, he said out “Buddhang”. When the tiger heard that, it thought that this man knew his name, so he did not dare to eat it and retreated. When the Tiger Thammang and the Tiger Sangkhang entered, Sukkathanang also said, "Thammang, Sangkhang". The two tigers thought that the man knewtheir names, so they did not dare to eat. So the tigers took Sukkathanang to the hermit. When the hermit inquired, he knew everything. Thus, the hermit blowed at the eyes and opened his eyes to make them clear again and sprinkled holy water to make him look smart and then let the tigers take him home.
