Matthi (Maddi) the ninth episode of a total of 13 episodes of the Vessantara Jataka with 90 verses. The content tells when Princess Maddi went out for fruits there were unnatural happenings such as no much fruits as before; the climate was gloomy; on her return, she found her way barred by three fierce animals including a lion, a tiger and a leopard which were transformed by devas. When arrived at the hermitage she had found no children. She tried to look for them until the night but not found. When returned hermitage she was rebuked by Vessantara. She was deeply disappointed and fainted. After first aid by Vessantara, she regained consciousness and was told. When Princess Maddi knew she rejoiced with this giving of children as dāna pāramī (the perfection of alms giving). Colophon: Folio 20 on the recto side: Chunlasangkatrasa (CS) 1286, a kap chai year, on the fifth day of the waxing moon of the sixth lunar month, the fourth day of the week (Wednesday), the writing was accomplished at the time of kòng ngai (between 7.30–9.00 o’clock). Phia Phaibunsavat or Thit Pheng and his wife, Nang Phia Buddi together with all their children, grandchildren from Pakham village jointly had the ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Mahā Vessantara Jataka 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 us through this life and the future lives, really. May the results of this merit support us to be free from the saṃsāra and cut the five obstructions off and reach Nirvana as our wishes. May this be a condition for me to reach Nirvana in the future.
