The content tells the story of Princess Bimba crying. Princess Bimba was born on the same day of Prince Siddhartha. She had a bright appearance. She married Siddhartha at the age of 16 and gave birth to her son while she was 29 years old. After giving birth to her son, Siddhartha left the palace for his ascetic, accompanied by his close servent, Channa and the horse Kandaka. So, Princess Bimba became very sad and cried. As she had a deep mental connection with her husband and loved him much. When the princess heard the news that the prince was wearing a dyed cloth, she changed her clothes and also wore the dyed cloth. When she heard the news that prince was fasting, she was also fasting. No matter how she heard the news about how her husband behaved, she followed it.
