Serat Seluk Pawestri Samariyah : Sebuah Pencarian Tirtamarta dalam Nuansa Kejawen-Kristiani
Manuscripts of Javanese literary texts with a Christian nuance are difficult to obtain. Compared with the development of the Hindu, Buddhism, and Moslem traditions in Javanese literary culture, that of the Christian tradition is still relatively new. Only a few Javanese literary texts with a Christian nuance are assumed to be currently in existence. The writer has in hand a manuscript containing a Javanese literary text titled Serat Suluk Pawestri Samariyah. Written in the style of tembang macapat, it is to be sung aloud and, according to the year to be guessed from the four-worded Javanese phrase called a sengkalan there, it was written in 1853 in the Javanese calendar or in 1921 A.D. and got into print as a book published in 1925 by A. C. Nix & Co., Bandung, telling about "toya gesang utawi tirtamarta sarta bab sajatining panembah", or about the life-giving water or tirtamarta and about the essence of prayers.
