The text tells Dhananjayasethi’s teachings to his daughter, Visakha who married Punnavaddhana and moved to her husband’s family. His ten advise as following: Not to give fire the house outside; not to take into the house from outside; to give only to those who give in return; not to give to those who do not give in return; to give him that gives and to him that gives not; to sit happily; to eat happily; to sleep happily; to tend the fire; and to honour household deities. Colophon: Folio 26 on the recto side: Buddhist Era 1211 (possibility is CS 1211), a kat hao year, on the ninth day of the waning moon of the first lunar month, the first day of the week (Sunday), a kat pao day, the writing was accomplished at the time of tut tang (between 6.00–7.30 o’clock). Mae Thao and Phò Thao Saensai sponsored the making of these manuscripts including two fascicles of Pitaka thang 3, three fascicles of Visakha and four fascicles of Chunthasukarikasut to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May our wishes and desires come true. Nibbāna paccayo hontu no dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ (May this be a condition for us to reach Nibbāna, certainly and certainly).
