The content tells about the judgment or mediation of any cases without eyewitness. The masters advised to make the judgment by adroitness. Example, a hermit saw a hatsadiling bird and a crocodile quarrelling and wresting the body of an elephant. Each claimed that the elephant belonged to one. So, they asked the hermit to make the judgment. The hermit did not any have eyewitness who could indicate that the hatsadiling bird or the crocodile killed the elephant. So, the hermit examined the wound on the elephant. If the wound made by the ivory that means the elephant was killed by the hatsadiling bird. If the wound made by the teeth that means the crocodile killed the elephant. Finally, the hermit found out that the elephant was killed by the hatsadiling bird. So, he judged the hatsadiling bird was the killer and the elephant belonged to the bird. Colophon: Folio 50 on the recto side: Chunlasangkatrasa (CS) 1222, a kot san year, on the third day of the waxing moon of the seventh lunar month, the third day of the week (Tuesday), a hwai nyi day, the writing was accomplished at the time of tut tang (between 6.00–7.30 o’clock). The prince of the royal king’s young brother, who lived in the back paplace had the ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Munlatantai to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May my desires and wishes come true. May this be a condition for us to reach Niravana, constantly and certainly.
