The final existence of Metteyya Bodhisatta. When the Bodhisatta becomes an ascetic, there will have Brahmins, kings, rich men, housholds, merchants and people follow him as ascetics. All these people have practiced and fulfilled the perfections durinf their previous existences. The Bodhisatta will practice meditaion in crystal castle for seven days. On the eight day, he will practice the absorptions and move from the castle to receive the rice porridge from Queen Candamukkhidevi. After the meal, he will throw the gold tray on the river of Salanhini. The gold tray will go to the place where other gold trays of the four previous Buddhas are. Thereafter, the Bodhisatta will have attained enlightenment on the coming day. Colophon: Folio 17 on the recto side: Cunlasangkat [one] hundred and 60 (corresponding with CS 1160), a kat mot year, the ninth day of the waxing moon of the eighth lunar month, the third day of the week (Thursday) and a huang mao day. The writing of this manuscript was accomplished at the time of the thae kai thiang (between 9.00–10.30 o’clock). Huachao Maha Sangkharat (the Great Patriarch) Sisumangkhala Savanapannya had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Metteyyasut, for the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May this be a condition to reach Nibbāna. May all my wishes become true..
