Prince Madrais Alibasa Manuscript No. 126

The manuscript No.126 is written in a set of loose folios. The size is 34 x 21.5 cm. The condition of paper is brittle, torn, perforated, taped and yellowing. The ink penetrates to the reverse side, but the writing is still readable. In this manuscript, Prince Madrais explains his teaching. Religion of Java Sunda can be alongside with the government to keep the nature balance and guide the government to decide the decision based on God’s decree. The existence of tempter makes us know between good and bad so we will be smarter and beware. Badal-badal defamed Madrais’ teaching. Many people were lost; deceiving and charged each other. It’s not in line with religious teaching. None can teach the writing of pusaka jawa because it is not the ordinary writing, but it is trusted to Madrais and Javanese will hold babat jaman alam dunia. Dutch colonial government was surprised when he can be a queen and a queen can stand by herself. Then he was made to suffer so his struggle will be useless. If the struggle of Madrais is achieved, it will be doom for them.
