Akaravattasut is one of the greatest suttas. No other suttas are able to compare. It is integrated the Sutta, the Vinaya, and Abhidhamma Pitakas. The contents are verses in Pali and explanation in Lao. On one occasion, while residing at the Gijjhakuta hill, the Buddha spoke to Venerable Sariputta on this Akaravatta Sutta. The verses of Akaravattasut are more powerful than other suttas in the protection from all dangers for those who regularly keep these verses in mind. All sins will not be a ble to penetrate into the nature by the power of this Akaravattasut. Whoever listened to it, written it by himself, or hired someone else to write it for him, memorised it, taught it to others, worshiped and respected it, regularly recited it in meditation will be free from 30 kinds of dangers. Colophon: Folio 31 on the recto side: Sangkat 1271, a kat hao year, a kat khai day, the ninth day of the waxing moon of the seventh lunar month, and the sixth day of the week (Friday). The writing of this manuscript was accomplished at the time of the kòng ngai (between 9.00–10.30 o’clock). The mother of the Chao Uparat (Viceroy), named Patthumma had the religious faith to sponsor the making of [this manuscript entitled] Akaravattasut, to prolong the age of the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May the alms that I have already given be a condition for us reach Nibbāna.
