The next ruler of Bali, known from a record of 1098 A.D., is named Śrī Śakalendaki ring Eśāna Guṇadharma-lakṣmīdhara Vijayottungadevī. In this name we have a reminiscence of that of Guṇapriyadharmapatnī, the mother of Airlangga, and of Īśāna, the reputed founder of the royal family to which Airlangga belonged. If it were safe to presume anything from these factors, this ruler of Bali may be regarded as belonging to that royal house. The same, however, cannot be said of the two rulers who followed, vix., Śrī Śūrādhipa, with dates 1115 and 1119 A.D., and Śrī Jayaśakti, with dates 1133 and 1150 A.D. It is possible that Bali was now altogether independent of Java.
