Biography

Maravijayottunggavarman started his reign around 1008 CE, when he was recorded to have sent three envoys to the emperor of China.[3] Srivijaya was also in a good relationship with the Chola Empire, which at that time was under King Rajaraja I.[2] The Leiden Inscription (1044 CE) mentions that Maravijayottunggavarman even built a Buddhist vihara known as Chudamani Vihara at Nagapattinam, dedicated to his late father's name.[2]

Chinese sources also speak of a major warfare between his kingdom and the Kingdom of Mataram of East Java.[4] In 1016 CE, Srivijaya may be assisting a rebellious vassal state of Mataram, causing the death of King Dharmavangsa Teguh Anantavikrama and the destruction of Mataram Kingdom.[4]
