The text tells the importance of the three doctrines and the three robes. The three doctrines consist of Vinaya Pitaka, Abhidhamma Pitaka and Suttanta Pitaka which are called Tipitaka. The three robes consist of pha chivòn (the under robe), pha sanghati (the outer robe), and pha sabong (the under robe), which are called Ticīvara. The three robes are important for monks. Without the three robes, a man is not able to ordain as a monk. The Teachings of the Buddha consist of three called Tipitaka. Without the Tipitaka, there would not have Buddhism. Pha chivòn is comparable as the Vinaya Pitaka, pha sangkhati is comparable as the Abhidhamma Pitaka, and pha sabong is comparable as the Suttanta Pitaka. Colophon: Folio 23 on the recto side: In Chunlasangkatrasa 2 thousand 4 hundred and 18 (possibility is BE 2418), a hwai si year, on the fourth day of the waning moon of the fifth lunar month, a moeng pao day, the writing was accomplished at the time of thae kai thiang (between 9.00–10.30 o’clock). Pho Thao I bua and his children jointly sponsored the making of this manuscript [entitled] Tham 3 tai (the Dhamma of three) to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May our wishes and desires come true, amen, amen.
