For the people around Cinunuk’s grave, name of Prince Papak is more popular than his real name is Raden Wangsa Muhammad. Papak designation for Raden Wangsa Muhammad because his middle and point finger are the same height. This title is explained by my friend, Aji who asgar or native Garut (asli Garut = asgar). By share in kaskus (a social media) from someone with ID alidokat, Prince or Kyai Papak always use his two fingers as media to preach. He said "There is no difference between people in the eyes of Allah but only deeds. Whose among you practice what I teach about the knowledge of sanctity, prophetic knowledge, apostolic knowledge and wali Allah knowledge then you will eventually be aligned with the beloved of Allah / wali Allah.” while Prince Papak showing his two fingers which have same height.
From www.dadiahmad.blogspot.com I get a different story about the name of Papak. Papak designation for Raden Wangsa Muhammad because of his attitude and principles. Raden Wangsa Muhammad has a principle which is never discriminate against a human being based on the teachings of Islam. There was no difference between the patrician class with caste sudra. The most important thing is Akhlakul Karimah (has a good attitude) and have holy intentions. Above this, he earned the nickname as Prince Papak. So Prince Papak is defined as a virtuous and never differentiate degrees of human dignity (flat = flat, the same). Raden Wangsa Muhammad or Prince Papak or were encouraging the society is that the heart is always at ease: ulah ngingu kabingung, miara kasusah, sangkan aya dina kagumbiraan manah (so that the heart always remain happy).
