'Juarian puca inda'= Juarian 'the beautiful tree' and Tuah ayam= Lucky signs of fighting cocks. Romanized transliteration from the r ncong script in South Sumatran Malay, made by P. Voorhoeve, January 1970, from a copy made by Miss Jumsari Jusuf, 7ff., typescript.

Description:
The original text is incised on 41 bamboo strips (MNJ E 41). See L.Or.8447/135; and also Proeven van Redjangsch in TBG 30, 1885, 484-9. The latter has a transliteration and a Malay rendering in parallel columns, in which puca inda is equated to pokok indah. Perhaps puca derives from Javanese pucang = Areca palm. The juarian runs from f.1 to f.40. The Tuah ayam is in f.41 only.
