[Footnote 374: Groeneveldt, _Notes on the Malay Archipelago compiled from Chinese sources_, 1876 (cited below as Groeneveldt), p. 10.

Confirmed by the statement in the Ming annals book 324 that in 1432 the Javanese said their kingdom had been founded 1376 years before.]

[Footnote 375: Kern in _Versl. en Med. K. Ak. v. W. Afd. Lett. 3 Rks_.

I. 1884, pp. 5-12.]

[Footnote 376: Chap. XL. Legge, p. 113, and Groeneveldt, pp. 6-9.]

[Footnote 377: He perhaps landed in the present district of Rembang "where according to native tradition the first Hindu settlement was situated at that time" (Groeneveldt, p. 9).]

[Footnote 378: Groeneveldt, p. 9. The transcriptions of Chinese characters given in the following pages do not represent the modern sound but seem justified (though they cannot be regarded as certain) by the instances collected in Julien's _Mthode pour dchiffrer et transcrire les noms sanscrits_. Possibly the syllables Do-a-lo-pa-mo are partly corrupt and somehow or other represent Prn?avarman.]

1882.]

[Footnote 380: Groeneveldt, pp. 12, 13.]

[Footnote 383: Jackson, _Java and Cambodja_. App. IV. in _Bombay Gazetteer_, vol. I. part 1, 1896.]

[Footnote 384: It is also possible that when the Javanese traditions speak of Kaling they mean the Malay Peninsula. Indians in those regions were commonly known as Kaling because they came from Kalinga and in time the parts of the Peninsula where they were numerous were also called Kaling.]

[Footnote 385: See for this question Pelliot in _B.E.F.E.O._ 1904, pp.

274 ff. Also Schlegel in _T'oung Pao_, 1899, p. 247, and Chavannes, _ib_. 1904, p. 192.]

[Footnote 386: Chap. xxxix. Schiefner, p. 262.]

[Footnote 387: Though he expressly includes Camboja and Champa in Koki, it is only right to say that he mentions Nas-gling ( = Yava-dvipa) separately in another enumeration together with Ceylon.

But if Buddhists passed in any numbers from India to Camboja and _vice versa_, they probably appeared in Java about the same time, or rather later.]

[Footnote 388: See Kamaha. pp. 9, 10, and Watters, _Yan Chwang_, II.

pp. 209-214.]

[Footnote 389: They preserve to some extent the old civilization of Madjapahit. See the article "Tengereezen" in _Encyclopaedie van Nederlandsch-Indi._]

[Footnote 390: See Kern, _Kawi-studien Arjuna-vivha_, I. and II.

1871. Juynboll, _Drie Boeken van het oudjavaansche Mahbhrata_, 1893, and _id. Wirtaparwwa_, 1912. This last is dated Saka 918 = 996 A.D.]

[Footnote 391: Or Jayabaya.]

[Footnote 392: See _Rmyana. Oudjavaansche Heldendicht_, edited Kern, 1900, and _Wr?tta Sacaya_, edited and translated by the same, 1875.]

[Footnote 394: Groeneveldt, p. 14.]

[Footnote 395: In the work commonly called "Ngarakretgama" (ed.

Brandes, _Verhand. Bataav. Genootschap._ LIV. 1902), but it is stated that its real name is "Deawarn?nana." See _Tijdschrift_, LVI. 1914, p. 194.]

[Footnote 396: Or Jayakatong.]

[Footnote 397: Groeneveldt, pp. 20-34.]

[Footnote 398: Groeneveldt, pp. 34-53.]

[Footnote 399: Near Soerabaja. It is said that he married a daughter of the king of Champa, and that the king of Madjapahit married her sister. For the connection between the royal families of Java and Champa at this period see Maspro in _T'oung Pao_, 1911, pp. 595 ff., and the references to Champa in Ngarakretagama, 15, 1, and 83, 4.]

[Footnote 400: See Raffles, chap, X, for Javanese traditions respecting the decline and fall of Madjapahit.]

[Footnote 401: See Takakusu, _A record of the Buddhist religion_, especially pp. xl to xlvi.]

[Footnote 402: In another pronunciation the characters are read San-fo-chai. The meaning appears to be The Three Buddhas.]

[Footnote 403: _E.g._ Si-li-ma-ha-la-sha ( = Srmahrj) Si-li-tieh-hwa (perhaps = Srdeva).]

[Footnote 404: The conquest however was incomplete and about 1400 a Chinese adventurer ruled there some time. The name was changed to Ku-Kang, which is said to be still the Chinese name for Palembang.]

[Footnote 405: The Ming annals expressly state that the name was changed to Atjeh about 1600.]

[Footnote 406: For the identification of Po-li see Groeneveldt, p. 80, and Hose and McDougall, _Pagan Tribes of Borneo_, chap. II. It might be identified with Bali, but it is doubtful if Hindu civilization had spread to that island or even to east Java in the sixth century.]

[Footnote 407: See Hose and McDougall, _l.c._ p. 12.]

[Footnote 408: See Kern, "Over de Opschriften uit Koetei" in _Verslagen Meded. Afd. Lett. 2 R. XI. D._ Another inscription apparently written in debased Indian characters but not yet deciphered has been found in Sanggau, south-west Borneo.]

[Footnote 409: Groeneveldt, p. 81. The characters may be read Kau-d?i-nya according to Julien's method. The reference is to Liang annals, book 54.]

[Footnote 410: See Pleyte, _Die Buddhalegende in den Sculpturen von Borobudur_. But he points out that the version of the Lalita Vistara followed by the artist is not quite the same as the one that we possess.]

[Footnote 411: Amitbha, Amoghasiddhi, Ratnasambhava, Akshobhya, Vairocana, sometimes called Dhyn Buddhas, but it does not seem that this name was in common use in Java or elsewhere. The Kamahynikan calls them the Five Tathgatas.]

[Footnote 412: So in the Kunjarakarna, for which see below. The Kamahynikan teaches an elaborate system of Buddha emanations but for purposes of worship it is not quite clear which should be adored as the highest.]

[Footnote 416: See passages quoted in _Archaeol. Onderzoek_, I. pp.

96-97.]

[Footnote 417: Hayagrva however may be regarded as a Brahmanic god adopted by the Buddhists.]

[Footnote 418: See for reasons and references _Archaeol. Onderzoek_, II. pp. 36-40. The principal members of the king's household probably committed suicide during the funeral ceremonies.]
