Prince Selarasa kneels before a holy man, Kiai Nur Sayid, who has stayed in one place for so long, neither eating nor drinking but smelling flowers and praying to God, that a vine has grown up around his body. The narrative power of the image is reinforced by enclosing the whole scene within a vine. MSS.Jav.28, f.8r
Unknown. The original owner of the MS is noted at the top of the first page: punika serat kagunganipun nyonya Sakeber [gezaghebber, or perhaps Madame Schaber of Surabaya]. Col. Colin Mackenzie received the MS from Rothenbühler at Surabaya in Feb. 1812. Mackenzie Collection, 1823
