The content tells about the story of the spheres. The sphere named Asesak is the sphere of a prince who was the son of a queen was killed by enemies in the battle. The person who was born on the day of the moon met the Asesak sphere should not be in the battle. If not he would die before the right time. The next story is the story of the Maga Sphere. There was a king who had a queen and other five hundred wives but he did not have any children. The king took his queen and other 500 wives to the forest to meet Acuta ascetic in order to ask the ascetic about having children. Having the answer they retuned the kingdom. On the way, the king was killed by a tiger. The king was reborn as Maga Sphere with the shape of a plow. Therefore, those who were born in the time of Maga, some do not have any children.
