Ancient Indian Colonization in South-East Asia c9.64

c9.64

An inscription of Chandrabhānu has been found at Chaiya near Ligor. As it is dated A.D. 1230, the king has been identified with the Jāvaka king of that name. He is said to have been born in the family of lotus and called Lord of Tāmbraliṅga. This seems to indicate that the headquarters of Jāvaka or Zābag were located in Malaya Peninsula, and its rulers did not belong to the Śailendra family in the thirteenth century.
