The first attempt at the colonisation of the island by Indians is attributed in the native chronicles of Java to a great and powerful prince from Gujerat, named Aji Sâka, who is said to have landed on the island about a.d. 75. He was, however, compelled to withdraw owing to a pestilence or some other calamity. This story was, perhaps, a literary embellishment of Javanese history, introduced to show the connection of the ancient royal dynasty with the Sâka kings of Northern India.
