No. The first one says: that thing which is every thing, is a broda.
Unless there is only one thing in the universe (and it brodas),
then it can't be true.

The second one says that everything is a broda.

(Now if {da} were a plural variable, that could take more than one
value at a time, they might be equivalent. But in that case we would
need to define {ro} better.)
