In the Buddha’s time, a bhikkhuni (female monk) who practiced vipassana meditation and attained a high stage of the Dhamma saw with her divine eye the hell beings being tortured and circled in the hells. The female monk went to the presence of the Buddha and asked the Buddha that why those hell-beings were suffering with never-ending? The Buddha said, those hell-beings were suffering like that was because of the results of their bad actions. While they were alive, they conducted various kinds of bad deeds, severe and light. Therefore, they were suffering in the different hells. Colophon: Folio 26 on the recto side: Sangkat (CS) 1259, a moeng hao year, the fourteenth day of the waning moon of the eleventh lunar month, the second day of the week (Monday), the writing was accomplished at noon. Sathu (Monk) Khu from Vat Sisavanthevalok had the religious faith to sponsor the making of these five manuscripts entitled Thevathutasut to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May all my wishes and desires come true. Amen, amen!.
