About this Manuscript

The manuscript appears to be a Buddhist narrative centred on Queen Māyādevī, the mother of the Buddha. The invocation to Lokanātha and the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha), together with references to a Bodhisattva and Queen Māyādevī, indicate that the text narrates the Bodhisattva's descent into Māyādevī’s womb and the events leading to the birth of the Buddha. Thus, it may be classified as a Buddhist birth legend or Māyādevī-kathā connected with the Buddha’s nativity. मायादेवी word already written in left marzin of manuscript.
