Ancient Indian Colonization in South-East Asia c9.66

The Śailendra Empire was the central pivot of the history of Malaya Archipelago for nearly five centuries. Some idea of its wealth and splendour may still be formed from the monuments like Barabuḍur, Chaṇḍi Kalasan, Chaṇḍi Mendut, and numerous other temples in Central Java, to which reference will be made later. We may now pass on to the history of Java, which succeeded Zābag or San-fo-tsi of the Śailendras as the leading power.
