Description:
The original is a manuscript of 29 small bamboo strips, from Kaur, inscribed in the Lampung script in South Sumatran Malay (MNJ E 86). In the typescript, Voorhoeve notes that this is the same text as that of the British Library manuscript. He says that there is a certain link between the usage noted by Moens of this text in love magic and love mantras called Ibu maksa. See further P. Voorhoeve, 'Uit de letterkunde van Zuid-Sumatra' in Triwindoe Gedenkboek Mangkoe Nagoro VII, Supplement, Soerakarta, 1940, pp.139-40.
