  3. Bhinneka Tunggal Ika is the official national motto of Indonesia. The phrase is Old Javanese translated as "Unity in Diversity,". It is inscribed in the Indonesian national symbol, Garuda Pancasila (written on the scroll gripped by the Garuda's claws), and is mentioned specifically in article 36A of the Constitution of Indonesia. It is a quotation from an Old Javanese poem. This poem is notable as it promotes tolerance between Hindus (Shivaites) and Buddhists. This quotation comes from canto 139, stanza 5. The full stanza reads as follows: It is said that the well-known Buddha and Shiva are two different substances. They are indeed different, yet how is it possible to recognize 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.
