Once in the past, there was a village called Phommatissacholi. The most villagers were agriculturists. They planted beans. When the beans had been mature, the villagers together picked the beans. While others picking the beans, a girl saw a monk who was thirsty. So, she offered the monk their drinking water. During the rest time, the people looking for the water, they found out no water. The girl told them that she offered a monk all the water. The people blamed her and told her to bring them the water. The girl prayed the results of the merit from her good deeds. There was a miracle, the ground opened and a stream came out. She took the water to the people. After death, she was reborn in a heaven along with a heavenly castle. Colophon: (1) Folio 29 on the verso side: Achan Phan is the scribe. Please correct the grammar, even if there are any mistakes, any alphabets missing or over, I give my permission. May this not be sin and bad karma. Amen, amen! I rejoice. Nibbāna is the greatest bliss. Colophon: (2) Folio 30 on the recto side: Buddhist Era 2488, a hap hao year, the eleventh day of the waning moon of the ninth lunar month, and the third day of the week (Tuesday). [The writing of this manuscript] was accomplished at the time of the kòng ngai (between 7.30–9.00 o’clock). The Supreme Patriach Bunthan from Vat Mai together with his disciples and lay Buddhists sponsored the making of [this manuscript entitled] Mathurotvahini, there are seven fascicles in this bundle, to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May this be a condition for us to reach Nibbāna.
