Summary
In English
It is told in this lontar that Bhatara Siwa has a child named Bhatara Kala. Because Bhatara Kala likes to prey on humans, he is given the right to eat children born in Wuku Wayang (the 27th week of Balinese 30-week calendar). Coincidentally, Bhatara Kala's younger brother, Bhatara Kumara, was born in Wuku Wayang, so Bhatara Kala really wanted to eat his younger brother.
When Bhatara Kala wanted to eat his younger brother, Bhatara Shiva intervened them and said that Bhatara Kumara was still young so he could not be eaten. Then, Bhatara Shiva gave a blessing to Bhatara Kumara so that he would always take the form of a child so that his brother would not eat him.
Bhatara Kumara was then assigned to herd cattle, but he quickly grew bored. It was there then that Bhatara Shiva gave a lecture on spiritual teachings.
The important teachings in this Lontar Kumara Tattwa include the nature of the ten faculties which can cause the ten kinds of defilements in one's body and mind (dasamala). This defilement causes eight delusions called astamaya-dewi.
These eight delusions can be eradicated by the eight types of restraint, which are called Astalingga. In this Tutur Kumara Tattwa lontar it is also stated that there are eight qualities of glory.This lontar also discusses liberation and spiritual perfection. Perfection of life can be achieved by observing dasa niyama brata, which is ten actions that reflect one's austerities and self-restraint, namely giving, respecting those who deserve respect, exercising self-restraint, carrying out obligations, controlling lust, eating holy food, fasting, not speaking. carelessly, studying the scriptures and doing holy bathing.

Karena Bhatara Kala gemar memangsa manusia, dia diberikan hak untuk memakan anak-anak yang lahir pada Wuku Wayang. Secara kebetulan, adik Bhatara Kala, yaitu Bhatara Kumara, lahir pada Wuku Wayang sehingga Bhatara Kala sangat ingin memakan adiknya.
Tatkala Bhatara Kala ingin menyantap adiknya, Bhatara Siwa melerai mereka dan berkata bahwa Bhatara Kumara masih kecil sehingga belum boleh dimakan. Kemudian, Bhatara Siwa memberikan berkat kepada Bhatara Kumara agar senantiasa berwujud anak-anak agar tidak dimangsa oleh kakaknya.
Bhatara Kumara kemudian ditugaskan menggembala ternak, namun beliau cepat menjadi bosan. Di sanalah kemudian Bhatara Siwa memberikan wejangan mengenai ajaran-ajaran rohani.
