[Footnote 389: They preserve to some extent the old civilization of
Madjapahit. See the article "Tengereezen" in _Encyclopaedie van
Nederlandsch-Indië._]
[Footnote 390: See Kern, _Kawi-studien Arjuna-vivâha_, I. and II.
1871. Juynboll, _Drie Boeken van het oudjavaansche Mahâbhârata_, 1893,
and _id. Wirâtaparwwa_, 1912. This last is dated Śaka 918 = 996
A.D.]
[Footnote 391: Or Jayabaya.]
[Footnote 392: See _Râmâyana. Oudjavaansche Heldendicht_, edited Kern,
1900, and _Wṛtta Sañcaya_, edited and translated by the same,
1875.]
[Footnote 393: Composed in 1613 A.D.]
[Footnote 394: Groeneveldt, p. 14.]
[Footnote 395: In the work commonly called "Nâgarakrĕtâgama" (ed.
Brandes, _Verhand. Bataav. Genootschap._ LIV. 1902), but it is stated
that its real name is "Deçawarṇnana." 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 Maspéro in _T'oung Pao_, 1911, pp. 595 ff.,
and the references to Champa in Nâgarakrĕtagama, 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 ( = Śrîmahârâjâ)
Si-li-tieh-hwa (perhaps = Śrîdeva).]
[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-ḍi-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.]
