A postscript tells us that this manuscript comes from a 1325 set of sutras in silver on indigo paper commissioned by King Chungsug of Goryeo. The texts were copied out of the over 80,000-volume official printed Tripitaka Koreana (complete Buddhist canon). The sutras were stored in boxes (or bundles) of ten scrolls each. This comes from the 435th box, meaning that its falls between nos. 4341–4350.
