The messages of a king's political education to his students and his son, Raden Candra Jagad, scattered into pearls of wisdom that could serve as role models for leaders and the Madurese community. Raden Candra Jagad received education directly from his father and mother as a knowledgeable king. Raden Jandra Jagad was also asked to look for a teacher now by his father because without a teacher who can guide him directly, he will find it difficult to find his identity, become a true leader, and learn authentic knowledge. Raden Candra Jagad also has perseverance and mental toughness in seeking knowledge because he dares to meditate in quiet places like Caves. The role of the interpreter of the meaning of macapat (tokang tegges mamaca) on Candra Jagad's Layang is constructive in revealing the hidden meaning in the kite.
