The Bodhisatta was reborn as a deva and human being and was up and down between the heavens and the world for 500 existences. In a previous existence, the Bodhisatta was reborn as the daughter of the king of Champa Nakhon and was a younger sister of Poranadipankara Buddha. One day she offered oil for lamp to a monk and asked the monk to make a light to worship the Poranadipankara Buddha who is her brother. Then she set her wish to become a Buddha in the future. Colophon: Folio 25 on the recto side: Chunlasangkat 1216, a kap nyi year, the first day of the waxing moon of the fourth lunar month, the sixth day of the week (Friday), and a kap chai day. The writing was accomplished at the time of the thae kai thiang (between 9.00–10.30 o’clock). Chao Sangkharasa (Great abbot) Titsapannya had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Sothanda[ni] 3 tai for the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May my wishes come true. May this be a condition for us to reach Nibbāna. The original version consists of 5 fascicles. If anybody sees more, please add on it.
