This manuscript comprises three primary texts transcribed by Tirta Arjaya: Dhapuring Dhuwung, Serat Wirid, and Serat Wedha Curiga. Dhapuring Dhuwung delves into the intricacies of the keris, a traditional Javanese dagger, focusing particularly on the blade’s patterns, known as pamor, which hold both aesthetic and symbolic significance. Sĕrat Wirid centers on wirid, or devotional prayers, within the context of tasawuf (Sufism), emphasizing spiritual practices aimed at achieving closeness to the Divine. Sĕrat Wedha Curiga also examines the keris, potentially exploring its philosophical aspects, symbolism, and its role in Javanese spiritual and social life. Collectively, these texts underscore the interconnectedness of material culture and spirituality in Javanese tradition.
