Description of manuscript content:

The text tells of I Kaki Tua who, when seated in the Bale Pangangenagen was visited by Sang Hyang Bulan who made an obeisance in front of him. Then Kaki Tua took a bath and after he had washed his hair he let his hair hang down. After he had changed his clothes, Ki Tua sat at a meru (multi-roofed pavilion). The story continues with nymphs taking a bath and with Bhatara Brahma who descended from heaven and went to the south with his wife, Dewi Saraswati. Also Dewa Rudra descended with his wife, Dewi Durga and they settled in the southwest. This was followed by Dewa Mahadewa who descended with his wife Dewi Laksmi, and they settled in the west. The lontar is incomplete and the story ends here.
