Multiple-text palm-leaf manuscript. Plain teak covers. Gilded leaves. A collection of polemical works and epistles related to the debate on proper dress for Buddhist novices going on alms rounds. This debate persisted with varying intensity among Burmese Buddhist sangha from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth centuries. Though the collection is comprised of multiple documents apparently composed by different authors, differentiating them from each other is not an easy task, complicated by irregular presence of internal colophons and salutation formulas in the text. Separate manuscript testimonies of individual documents making up this collection have not been identified so far. Other known testimonies of this collection are mss Tharlay 14 and NL 1421.
Extent: One bundle comprised of 220 inscribed palm-leaf folios (ff. ka-dhī). Two plain teak covers.
Custodial history: (owner of the manuscript) = Ūḥ Puññasāra.
Additional date information: Copied 1783
Keywords: Law and Legal affairs, Buddhism.
