The first manuscript of Rabindranath was blue coloured papers got from the office. Though nothing from this manuscript came out as a printing material.The second manuscript was a hard bound Khata known as "Letts' Diary" where he wrote Prthirajer Parajay. probably, Abhilas, Hindumelar Upahar etc poems were written in that diary. The third manuscript of Rabindranath was Malati Punthi , the oldest Manuscript of Rabindranath received.
In the first part of 1943 Prof. Malati Sen of Lady Arwin School, Delhi, gifted the manuscript to Rabindrabhaban through the hands of ex-Principal of Rabindrabhaban Dhirendramohan sen. The name of the manuscript , Malati Punthi, was given after her name. Sudhindra Kumar Sen [died 1919], brother of Mrs.Sen, was an admirer of Rabindranath. After his initiative a Literature Forum was created at their former residence at Lahore. After many days of his death the manuscript was discovered at his library. Pravat Kumar Mukhopadhyay , biographer of Rabindranath, inferred how the Manuscript came in the hands of Sudhindra Kumar Sen. It may be that Rabindranath once have given the manuscript to Saratkumari Choudhurani, resident of Lahore and wife of Akshay Chandra Choudhury. She was one of the associates of Sudhindra Kumar and he got it from her.
