In the Buddha’s time, there was a lay devotee living in Nalika village in Savatthi, making a living by farming. One day, the lay devotee saw Venerable Revata and became faithful in him. The devotee invited the Venerable to his house and offered him with cloth and food. When he died, he was reborn as a devaputta in Tavatimsa heaven, surrounded by 1,000 angels, and owned a 12 high gold castle. Once, Venerable Maha Moggallana ascended to the heaven and saw the devaputta with a lot of wealth. So he asked the devaputta what meritorious act did he have done to have so much wealth? The devaputta then told the story of his previous life that he had performed a meritorious act with Venerable Revata to the Venerable. Colophon: Folio 25 on the recto side: Sangkat (CS) 1257, a hap mot year, on the first day of the waxing moon of the fifth lunar month, the first day of the week (Sunday), the writing of this manuscript was accomplished at the time of thaing van (between 10.30–12.00 o’clock). The initiator, Nang Phia Si Nòrakhut together with all her children, grandchildren and relatives had the most ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Thamma Rattanasut (Ratana Sutta), to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. Nibbāna paccayo hotu (May this be a condition to reach Nirvanaa). May the results of this merit support my husband named Thit Khòng who already died to the other world. If he is in a suffering place, may he be moved to a good place. If he is already in a good place, may he be better than ever, with one hundred and one thousand times, definitely.
