Prasasti Telah Hidup Kembali

Karya Mas Catur Dharma

Setelah sekian lama tertidur dalam lempeng-lempeng Prasasti, akhirnya bangun juga.

Introduction: 

The Kawi script is an ancient, Brahmi-derived script widely used throughout the Malay archipelango in the 8th to 13th century. It became the precursor of various indigenous scripts in Indonesia and Phillipines, sharing the same basic principles and similar shapes. 

Shapes of Kawi:

The letter shapes of Kawi can be ambigious since there is no standard model for a single "script". Letters vary from one inscription to another, and text books divide this into an assortment of Kawis; early, mid, late, transitional, plain, decorative, quadratic, and so on. Prayara is based on the shapes of late Kawi; fully matured and highly decorative compared to earlier inscriptions.

 An Excerpt from the Rāmāyaṇa Epic XVI.31

Jahnī yāhning talaga kadi langit, mambang tang pās wulan upamanikāwintang tulya ng kusuma ya sumawur, lumra pwékang sari kadi jalada

The sky reflects upon a crystal pond, wherein a turtle floats as if the moon The stars are scattered blossoms, spreading scents as if the clouds
