Shailendra (English spelling)

Japanese: シャイレンドラ(英語表記)Śailendra
Shailendra (English spelling)
A dynasty that is said to have reigned over Central Java in Indonesia from 750 to 832. In Sanskrit, Shaila means mountain, and Indra means king or ruler, so it is thought that the dynasty may have been related to the "mountain worship" that is widespread in Southeast Asia. An ancient Malay inscription discovered on the north coast of central Java in 1963 bears the name Serendra, an ardent Shaivist, and judging from the language used in the inscription, he is thought to have been the leader of colonists from the kingdom of Srivijaya in southern Sumatra.

Japanese:
750年から832年まで,インドネシアの中部ジャワに君臨したといわれる王朝。サンスクリットでシャイラは山,インドラは王ないし支配者を意味するので,東南アジアに広く分布する〈山の信仰〉と関連があると考えられる。1963年にジャワ中部北岸で発見された古代マレー語の碑文に,熱烈なシバ教徒であるセレンドラという名が見られ,碑文の使用言語から見てスマトラ南部のスリウィジャヤ国から来た植民者の首領と考えられる。
