Sakkaban or Sakkapana means the section on Sakka, the content mentions about Sakka or Indra thought that in the future if someone asked for Princess Maddi, Vessantara would agree. That would make his practice difficult because of nobody taking care of him. Sakka assumed the guiseof a Brahmin and asked for Princess Maddi. Vessantara gave her willingly. Then the Brahmin returned Maddi to him along with eight blessings including may the people of Sivi forgive him and bring him back the kingdom Colophon: Folio 1 on the recto side: Mahasangkat 1002 hundred 3 (corresponding with CS 1203), a salu year (the year of the Ox), the thirteenth day of the waning moon of the fifth lunar month, the second day of the week (Monday), a ka mot day, the writing was accomplished at noon. Phanya Uparat and his wife, along with their children and relatives jointly had the ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript [entitled] Lam Pali mahasat, to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May our wishes come true. Nibbāna is the greatest bliss.
