Colophon: Folio 18 on the recto and verso sides: Buarabat Chunlasangkatrasa one hundred and 603 (corresponding with CS 1163), a huang hao year, a huang khai day, the eighth day of the waxing moon of the twelfth lunar month, the sixth day of the week (Friday), the writing was accomplished at the time of thae kai kham (between 15.00–16.30 o’clock). Chao Khanan Kham had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript dedicate to all his parents and relatives. May the results of this merit reach them. On the other hand, may all of us see the face of the noble one named Ariya Mettey who will attain enlightenment and become the Buddha in the future. May this be a condition for us to reach Nibbāna certainly and definitely.
