The manuscript No.56B is written in a notebook with blue cover and the first page is started from the back. The size is 21 x 16.5 cm. The condition of paper is brittle and yellowing. The writing is still readable. In this manuscript, Prince Madrais describes that being sentenced in exile, he received a command to write. Enlightenment led him to write a guide about the path of perfection in human life. Human beings are born, grow up and experience death; death which returns to the ground in perfection or just becomes a carcass that blends with land and plant wood. The reality that occurs in this world, such as trade from nations forces people to forget God's nature and law. Because of the lack of paper to send his writing to the islands, Prince Madrais asked his friend in Ambon to buy paper secretly.
