Dhammapada, the story of Culekasataka, the Brahmin who offered a single piece of cloth to the Buddha and received the results in return immediately. On one occasion, the Buddha was present at the Jetavana monastery spoke about a Brahmin named Culekasataka and gave this sermon. There was a Brahmin named Culekasataka who lived with his wife in poor condition in Savatthi. Both of them had only one piece of cloth. When they went outside their house, the Brahmin and his wife had to take turns using that one cloth. One day the Brahmin went to listen to the preaching of the Buddha and was filled with faith. He wanted to offer that piece of cloth to the Buddha as an offering, but he was interfered by stinginess two times. When it was the third time, he decided to offer that piece of cloth to the Buddha. When he was able to overcome his stinginess, he shouted chitaṃme, chitaṃme, chitaṃme, which means I have won, I have won, I have won. King Pasenadi was overwhelmed by the difficult victory, so he gave cloths and things to the Brahmin each of the four. Colophon: Folio 26 on the recto side: Sangkatrasa (CS) 1219, a moeng sai year, on a ka mot day, the first day of the week (Sunday), [the writing was accomplished] at the time of kòng ngai (between 7.30–9.00 o'clock). Princess Kham On had the most ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this first manuscript-bundle entitled Dhammapada to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. Nibbāna paranaṃ sukhaṃ (Nibbāna is greatest bliss).
