There are water spots in some pages. The ink penetrates to the reverse side, but the writing is still readable. In this manuscript, there is a letter to Gusti Pangeran Praja Kanoman Grage; inviting him to Cigugur. It is also told that Madrais was very concerned about the people who helped him including servants, carpenters, people who take care of animals and pets. They were all get wages. He was sorry because he had to become a role model for his people to be aware of the true identity as a nation and guide of religious life. He also organized a meeting to convey the enlightenment he received to his servants and teach the truth in conducting life. Prince Madrais explains his teachings. The destruction of nature is very difficult to repair. It is because humans did not realize what they did. Who can restore it because it will not be re-created. Nature sues, only God that can fix it. The existence of religion is to make self-control, eliminate all traits which contradict each other, reconcile and be aware of its creator. There are some marriage rules of Sunda religion. Some of them are man and woman are equals, the minimun age for marriage, marriage bound not only a woman and man but also with the big family. There is a prophecy which says that someday there will be a vibration of feeling in the land of Java. Then, there will be a voice to be a discussion about desire, mind and sense. All have been written, there will be strong turmoil against the condition.
