Description of manuscript content:

This manuscript contains the teachings of Sheikh Mukayat. The story begins with the kinanti song about Dewi Insan asking Sheikh Mukayat about the conditions of faith. The text also explains the teachings of Sharia and mysticism. There is also the rahayu chant commonly used in a series of songs after reciting wawacan. The Kidung Rahayu chant serves as a closing reading intended for a prayer of safety.

Other notes:

The manuscript has a cover, but it's only made of loose paper not integrated with the binding. The binding is still intact. However, some pages of the manuscript have already come loose from the binding. This manuscript is used in the Bujanggaan performance in Indramayu.
