[Footnote 389:  They preserve to some extent the old civilization of Madjapahit.  See the article “Tengereezen” in Encyclopaedie van Nederlandsch-Indie.]

[Footnote 390:  See Kern, Kawi-studien Arjuna-vivaha, I. and II. 1871.  Juynboll, Drie Boeken van het oudjavaansche Mahabharata, 1893, and id.  Wirataparwwa, 1912.  This last is dated Saka 918 = 996 A.D.]

[Footnote 391:  Or Jayabaya.]

[Footnote 392:  See Ramayana.  Oudjavaansche Heldendicht, edited Kern, 1900, and Wrtta Sancaya, 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 “Nagarakretagama” (ed.  Brandes, Verhand.  Bataav.  Genootschap. LIV. 1902), but it is stated that its real name is “Decawarnnana.”  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 Maspero in T’oung Pao, 1911, pp. 595 ff., and the references to Champa in Nagarakretagama, 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 (=Srimaharaja) Si-li-tieh-hwa (perhaps=Srideva).]

[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-di-nya according to Julien’s method.  The reference is to Liang annals, book 54.]
