King Sanjaya of Mataram (AD 732 — 746) or in complete stylized name known as Rakai Mataram Sang Ratu Sanjaya (King Sanjaya Rakai (lord) of Mataram) was the founder of Mataram Kingdom during the eighth century. His name was revealed in the AD 732 Sanskrit Canggal inscription carved in stone found at the foot of Ukir (or Wukir) hill (about high) on the southern Kedu Plain in Central Java.〔 〕 Another recorded source of Sanjaya's history and his successors was found in the Balitung charter. Balitung mentioned what it is called 'the builders of keraton', starting from Rakai Mataram (Sanjaya) followed by the Maharaja Rakai Panangkaran, Panunggalan, Warak, Garung, Rakai Pikatan, Kayuwangi, Watuhumalang and Watukura (which is Balitung himself).〔 Sanjaya was also known as Rakai Mataram with the additional title of 'Sang Ratu Sanjaya'.〔 The title ''rakai'' (from ''raka'' or ''rake'' meaning 'lord of') indicates any members of nobility from a king to a simple squire. The name of King Sanjaya Saga was also mentioned in the old romanticized and mythicized Sundanese manuscript of ''Carita Parahyangan'' (or Parahyangan Story) dated from later period, in which Sanjaya was portrayed as the Sundanese king hero of Galuh. == Sanjaya or Sailendra dynasty == Bosch suggested that Sanjaya was the progenitor of the Sanjaya Dynasty, and there was two dynasties that ruled Central Java; the Buddhist Sailendra and the Shivaist Sanjaya dynasty.〔Dr. Bosch, "Srivijaya, de Sailendravamsa en de Sanjayavamsa", 1952.〕 The inscription also states that Sanjaya was an ardent follower of Shaivism, The latter was forced to move eastward by Sanjaya as written in an old Chinese report, whom named Sanjaya as ''Chi-Yen''.〔 〕 Yet another historians argued that there was no such thing as Sanjaya dynasty, since there was only one dynasty mentioned in inscriptions called Sailendra that ruled central Java. This theory was proposed by Poerbatjaraka and suggested that there was only one kingdom and one dynasty; the kingdom is called Medang with the capital in Mataram area, and the ruling dynasty is Sailendra. He holds that Sanjaya and all of his offspring were belongs to Sailendra family that initially were Shivaist. The association of Sailendra with Mahayana Buddhism began after the conversion of Raja Sankhara (Rakai Panaraban or Panangkaran) to Buddhism.〔Poerbatjaraka, 1958: 254–264〕 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「Sanjaya of Mataram」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
