Chanthakhat went to Khantharattha kingdom where he met Princess Kaeo Uttamathani, the daughter of king of Khantharattha kingdom. The princess was a beautiful girl. They both were fallen in love, and finally they married. They had a son named Dukkata Khattiya Vongsa. Later, Chanthakhat was the successor to his father in-law and reigned Khantharattha kingdom as King Chanthakhat. Colophon: Folio 26 on the recto side: Chunlasangkatrasa (CS) 1294, a tao san year, on the sixth day of the waxing moon of the eleventh lunar month, the fourth day of the week (Wednesday), a huang khai day, the writing was accomplished at the time of kòng ngai (between 7.30–9.00 o’clock). The initiator, Rattanapannya sponsored the making of this manuscript entitled Lam Chanthakhāt (Story of Chanthakhat for preaching) to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May the results of this merit be a condition for Nirvana and cut the five obstructions off and reach Nirvana as my wishes. Arahantī homi nibbāna paccayo honto no niccaṃ dhuvaṃ (May I obtain Arahantship. May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvana, constantly and certainly).
