On one occasion, while residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha spoke to his disciples with reference to a rich man that is the cause of this discourse. There was a rich man with the smart figure. He was loved by other women. At the time, there was a small girl who was not very good looking saw the rich man and fell in love with him. Always thinking of the rich man, she could not eat and sleep. So, she looked gaunt. Finally, she held her breath until death. Thinking that he is quilty, the rich man went to the present of the Buddha at the Jetavana monastery and asked the Buddha to help him relieved of worry. The Buddha gave him a sermon related to the story of his previous existence. Colophon: Folio 25 on the recto side: Sangkat 165 (corresponding with CS 1165), a ka khai year, the thirteenth day of the waning moon of the tenth lunar month, the fourth day of the week (Wednesday), a huang hao day, the writing was accomplished at the time of thae kai kham (between 15.00–16.30 o’clock). Saen Kham and his wife had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript [entitled] Tikkanibat, to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May this be a condition for us to reach Nibbāna.
