On one occasion, while residing at the Jetavana monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha spoke to his disciples about his previous life. When the Bodhisattva was born as the son of a rich man in Varanasi. Once, there was a king named Phanya Kalaphu rules Paranasi. At that time, the Bodhisattva was born in the family of a rich Brahmin who had a lot of treasures. When the Bodhisattva grew up, he went to study the arts until having finished and returned home. After the death of his parent, the Bodhisattvas took all the treasures and distributed them as alms. Then he went out to become an ascetic practicing the Dharma in the Himaphan forest. Colophon: Folio 26 on the recto side: Maha Chunlasangkatrasa 1287, a hap pao year, the eighth day of the waning moon of the ninth lunar month, the second day of the week (Monday), the writing was accomplished at the time of kòng laeng (between 13.30–15.00 o’clock). Thammapannya had the ardent religious faith in the Teachings of the Buddha and bought the palm leaves and sponsored the making of these five manuscript-fascicles entitled Pannya Parami (Perfection of wisdom) to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until entering Nibbāna definitely. On the other hand, may the results of this merit support my mother named Sao Sai. If she has been stuck in a misery, move her from the suffering. If she has been stuck in a misery place, move her to a good place. If she has already been in a good place, support her more better than ever by ten thousand times and one hundred thousand times with Nibbāna as the ultimate goal. May my wishes and desires not be ignored. May the gift of mine be for Nibbāna which is the greatest bliss constantly and certainly.
