Full stanza of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika

Original

This quotation comes from canto 139, stanza 5. The full stanza reads as follows:

Rwâneka dhâtu winuwus Buddha Wiswa,

Bhinnêki rakwa ring apan kena parwanosen,

Mangka ng Jinatwa kalawan Siwatatwa tunggal,

Bhinnêka tunggal ika tan hana dharma mangrwa.

Translation

It is said that the well-known Buddha and Shiva are two different substances.

They are indeed different, yet how is it possible to recognise their difference in a glance,

since the truth of Jina (Buddha) and the truth of Shiva is one.

They are indeed different, but they are of the same kind, as there is no duality in Truth.

This translation is based, with minor adaptations, on the critical text edition by Dr. Soewito Santoso.
