Thānakhan (Dānakhanda) the third episode of the Vessantara Jataka. Before Vessantara left Sivi kingdom, he donated “sattasadaka mahadāna” (donation of 7 things, 700 each). Then, he left the kingdom with Queen Maddi, son, Jali and daughter Kanha directing to the Himavan forest. Along the way, a group of paupers came and asked for the royal carriage and horse. He gave them. Finally both of them carried their son and daughter and continued their way by foo to the Himavan forest. Colophon: Folio 19 on the recto side: Chunlasangkatrasa (CS) 1292, a hwai sanga year, on the sixth day of the waxing moon of the ninth lunar month, the fifth day of the week (Thursday), a hap sai day, the writing was accomplished at the time of kòng laeng (between 13.30–15.00 o’clock). Chao Phanya Maha Somdet Sisavang Vong and his first wife Queen Khamfan jointly had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript-bundle entitled Vohān Vetsantara (Vessantara in phrase) to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May all our desires and wishes with Nirvana as the ultimate goal, come true. May the results of this merit support Thu Nyai Thangthai (mean Queen Kham Ouan, King Sisavang Vong’s 1st wife), who already died to the other world. May she reach the states of happiness. If she has been in a good place, may this merit reach her. May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvana.
