Shiladitya (also transliterated as ''Siladitya'') is the title of an Indian king mentioned in the writings of the Chinese traveler Xuanzang (Hieun Tsang). Xuanzang mentions him as a Buddhist king of Kie-Jo-Kio-She-Kwo. Upon assuming throne, Shiladitya gathered an army of 50,000 foot soldiers, 5000 elephants and 2000 cavalry. He subdued the five regions of India, and built "several thousand" stupas on the banks of Ganges, each about 100 feet high.〔 Xuanzang also states that every five years, Shiladitya held an assembly called "Moksha". He gave away his treasury in charity, which was then replenished by his vassals. He describes such a ritual held in the empire's Po-lo-ye-kia kingdom as follows:〔 == Identification == Shiladitya is identified with Harsha by many scholars. According to this theory, Kie-Jo-Kio-She-Kwo is Kanyakubja (Kannauj), while Po-lo-ye-kia is Prayag. Xuanzang also mentions another king named Shiladitya, of "Mo-la-po" kingdom (identified with Malwa). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shiladitya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
