ASTABRATA dalam Helaian Batik Naskah Pakualaman (ASTABRATA on the Sheets of Pakualaman Manuscript Batik)

Author: GKBRAA Paku Alam, 2024, 99pg, (Indonesian, English, Javanese). Hardcover in blue sleeve.
Publisher: Puro Pakualaman & Bank BPD, DI Yogyakarta

The term Astabrata denotes a set of eight cardinal principles of leadership, deeply rooted in ancient Javanese and Hindu philosophical traditions. This doctrine articulates the archetypal qualities expected of an ideal leader, each modeled upon the attributes of eight deities within the Hindu pantheon. The Pakualaman Manuscript-Batiks draw inspiration from the resplendent illuminations preserved in the manuscripts housed at the Puro Pakualaman palace library. Each of these eight batiks is consecrated with the name of a deity and adorned with symbolic motifs that faithfully reflect the representations found in the original manuscripts. The sequence begins with Indra Widagda, followed by Yama Linapsuh, Surya Mulyarja, Candra Kinasih, Bayu Kristala, Wishnu Mamuja, Brama Sembada, Baruna Wicakswa, and culminates in Astabrata Jangkep (complete Astabratha teachings).
