Ancient Indian Colonies in the Far East (Vol. I: Champa; Vol. II: Suvarnadvipa) v2.c11.23

v2.c11.23

The second is a prose work called Pararaton. It is a sort of historical chronicle beginning with the life of Ken Angrok, and continuing the history of Java down to the end of the Hindu rule. It gives dates for most of the events, but these have not always proved to be correct. The book has no doubt a genuine historical background, but the incidents mentioned in it cannot always be regarded as historical without further corroboration. The book was originally edited and translated by Brandes (Par.), and a revised edition has been published by Krom.
