In notes to his translation of a nineteenth-century manuscript version ofthe story, Leclère reports comparing the manuscript he used to that of a TraiBh¥m text. He found its descriptions of various levels of hells to be identicalto those in the Trai Bh¥m, while its accounts of the heavens were morehighly embellished.

The Khmer Tripi†aka, containing Påli and Khmer on alternate pages,was published in its entirety in the 1960s, but many of the editions andtranslations were produced much earlier. The printed Tripi†aka was largelybased on Khmer palm-leaf manuscripts collected during the nineteenthcentury (many from Siam), and edited and translated under the auspicesof the Royal Library and later the Buddhist Institute from the 1920s through1960s. Many of the Jåtaka texts were edited and printed as separate textsprior to the 1960s.39.
