Jataka on the story of Bhuridata. While residing at the Jetavanna monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha spoke to his followers about one of his previous life, when he was Bhuridata, the naga prince who successfully followed the eight precepts. The story is that. Bhuridata was a son of King Thataratha, the leader of the underwater world. One day, he was cought by a Brahmin who had magic power to subdue nagas and snakes, and was shown around various places. Bhuridata repressed his anger and his shame in order to successfully follow the eight precepts. Finally, he was helped by his brother, Suthatsana who infectd the Brahmin with venom. Colophon: Folio 25 on the recto side: Sangkat (CS) 1234, a tao san year, on a tao chai day, the fourteenth day of the waning moon of the eighth lunar month, the writing of this manuscript was accomplished at the time of kòng ngai (between 7.30–9.00 o’clock). The initiator, Saen Maithi together with his children, grandchildren, relatives and siblings sponsord the making of this manuscript entitled Phurithat and Chantha Kumman (Bhuridatta and Canda Kumara), to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May all our wishes and desires come true. Nibbānaṃ paramaṃ sukhaṃ (Nirvanaa is the greatest bliss).
