Description:	Bhagavad Gita is frequently referred to as the fifth veda (pancama veda) apart from the other four vedas such as Rig Veda, Atharwa Veda, Sama Veda and Yajur Veda which are all written in Sanskrit. In Bali, the five vedas, including Bhagavad Gita as the sixth book of the old Javanese version of Mahabharata, are known. The Balinese people can read the four vedas and Bhagavad Gita in order to acquire what is taught by god as an attempt to strengthen the moral and aesthetic values. The episode of Bhagavad Gita, which is written in the old Javanese language in Bhisma Parwa, was written by King Teguh Darmawangsa Anantavikrama Uttunggadewa in the tenth century in the Kediri Kingdom. He was referred to as manggala who composed Mahabharata (which is well known as Asta Dasa Parwa or Parwa in Bali). He requested rakawi (the royal writer) to adapt it. Mangjawaken Byasamata was a program of translating what was taught by Begawan Byasa from Sanskrit into the old Javanese language. The Bhagavad Gita which is written in the old Javanese language contains dialogues between Kresna and Arjuna of the swadharma (the holy obligations and responsibilities) of a nobleman due to birth (wangsa). He is responsible for defending his country, fighting against the enemies, defending the truth, keeping his words (satya wacana) sincerely (lascarya) and serving the fatherland (sradha bhakti).
