Vidhura Pandita Jataka, the Bodhisatta took his life as Vidhura Pandita who was a sage in the court of King Thanansai Koroppharat of Indapatta kingdom. Vidhura Pandita regularly preached the Dharma to the king until he was widely known. One day, King Thanansai went to observe the precepts at the royal park. Naga, Garuda and Indra came to meditate at this place as well. The four kings were curious to know which one's precepts were better. Vidhura Pandita said: The precepts of the four kings are always supremely. All four of them rejoiced and gave awards to Vidhura Pandita. When the Naga returned to the Naga world, he described about Vidhura Pandita to his wife, causing her to want to listen to the Dharma. So she tricked and pretended to be sick and then had his husband take her the heart of Vidhura Pandita. Otherwise she will die. The Naga king therefore had his daughter proclaim that if anyone could bring the Vidhura Pandita’s heart, she would agree to become a wife. Yak Punnaka volunteered to gamble with King Thanansai. King Thanansai was defeated and gave Vidhura Pandita to him. Punnaka Giant took Vidhura Pandita to the Naga world. There, Vidhura Pandita preached the Dhamma to Naga king, his queen and daughter and said that, “Wisdom is the hearth of a graduate”. Colophon: Folio 19 on the recto and verso sides: Buddhist Era (BE) 2474, a huang mot year, on the ninth day of the waxing moon of the second lunar month, the seventh day of the week (Saturday). The initiator, Somdet Phra Nang Chao Saovaphaphòngsi Phrabòrommarāsinināt who has supreme virtues, named Sathu Nyai Khamfan, the queen and her father, mother, and all her relatives, siblings, children, grandchildren had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript-bundle entitled Vithurabanditta (Vidhurapandita) to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May the results of this merit support my father, mother, and all relatives, siblings, children, grandchildren who already died. Even if they have been stuck in a misery place like the four low states of existence, may the results of this merit support them all to be free from the low states and make them reach the three states of happiness with Nirvana as the ultimate goal. May all our desires and wishes not be ignored definitely. Well done, well done. Nirvana is the greatest bliss.
