Abstract

This research discusses about pradaksina and prasavya perspective in The Tantu Panggelaran (TP) text related to the cosmic configuration that occurs as a basis for balancing Java. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to express the perspective of pradaksina and prasavya in TP texts as a Hindu-Buddhist thought heritage. This study uses the interpretative theory in the perspective of Hindu-Buddhist religious thoughts. The results showed that the perspective of pradaksina and prasavya in the TP text based on Hindu-Buddhist thought inheritance has specificity in the formation of the cosmic configuration of Java Island. The pradaksina pattern represents the purification of the island of Java, while the prasavya pattern represents the sacred zone of Java Island which is centered on the Kukub mandala. That matter refers to the direction of Bhaṭāra Guru when he carried out yoga, facing west and east in new Old Javanese prose. Thus, it can be inferred that the representation of pradaksina and the prasavya in the TP text as a relic of the new Old Javanese prose based on the purification and the formation of the sacred zone of the island of Java is a Hindu-Buddhist thought in an effort to make balance of Java towards its perfection as Javanese culture, especially the Old Javanese culture from the era of late Majapahit
