- Dharmasraya
-
Dharmasraya became an independent kingdom after the downfall of Srivijaya in 1025. After the invasion by Rajendra the king of Chola from Koromandel, authority of Sailendra dynasty over the islands of Sumatera and the Malay Peninsula weakened. Some time later came a new dynasty that took over the role of Sailendra Dynasty, called by the name of Mauli dynasty[1].
The inscription in which the name Dharmasraya and the name of king is Srimat Tribhuwanaraja Mauli Warmadewa appears also dates from the 13th century, namely the Padang Roco inscription around headwaters of Batang Hari (now Dharmasraya in West Sumatera), dated 1286. But before that, in 1183, from Grahi inscription at Chaiya (South of Thailand), Srimat Trailokyaraja Maulibhusana Warmadewa the name of king of Malay Kingdom has appears too.
