The Dhammapada story of Jatila Thera. Jatila was born from the womb of a rich man's daughter. After birth, he was put into a pot and floated down the stream by his mother. A young woman who was bathing in the stream saw the child in the pot and took it with her. She adopted him and named him Jatila. Later, on the advice of a monk the woman sent Jatila to Taxila where he had his education. While at Taxila the monk arranged for him to stay at the house of a merchant who was a disciple of his. In due course, Jatila married the daughter of the merchant. Soon after the marriage, a large mound of gold appeared in the backyard of the house which was newly built for the couple. Three sons were born out of this marriage. After that, Jatila was ordained as a monk named Jatila There and attained arahatship within a few days. Colophons: Folios 25 and 26 on the recto sides with the same text: Sangkatrasa 12 hundred and 13 (corresponding CS 1213), a huang khai year, on the eighth day of the waxing moon of the third lunar month, the sixth day of the week (Friday), the writing was accomplished at the time of kòng ngai (between 7.30–9.00 o'clock). Princess Buddi had the ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Sodoksetthi (Jotaka Millionaire), first fascicle, to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvana.
