Kumman (Kumāra) the eighth episode of a total of 13 episodes of the Vessantara Jataka with 101 verses. The content tells Jujaka arrived at Mount Vamka and stayed overnight not far from the hermitage of Ascetic Vessantara. At dawn on the next morning, Jujaka waited until Princess Maddi went away for finding for fruits. He then came out and begged to have Prince Jali and Princess Kanha from Vessantara. The two children realized that the Brahmin begging them, they were so scared and concealed themselves under the lotus leaves in the pond. Ascetic Vessantara called them and made them understood about his wishes. Then the ascetic gave them to Jujaka. Jujaka was binding their hands together and dragged them out of there. Colophon: Folio 22 on the recto side: Chunlasangkatrasa (CS) 1292, a hwai sanga year, on the sixth day of the waxing moon of the ninth lunar month, the fifth day of the week (Thursday), a hap sai day, the writing was accomplished at the time of kòng laeng (between 13.30–15.00 o’clock). Chao Phanya Maha Somdet Sisavang Vong and his first wife Queen Khamfan jointly had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript-bundle entitled Vohān Vetsantara (Vessantara in phrase) to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May all our desires and wishes with Nirvana as the ultimate goal, come true. May the results of this merit support Thu Nyai Thangthai (mean Queen Kham Ouan, King Sisavang Vong’s 1st wife), who already died to the other world. May she reach the states of happiness. If she has been in a good place, may this merit reach her. May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvana.
