Adwayawarman was the father of KingAdityawarman ofMalayapura kingdom (now inWest Sumatra province,Indonesia) as mentioned in theKuburajo I Inscription.[1] His alias name wasAdwayadwaja, as he was called in theBukit Gombak Inscription.[2]
Historian Slamet Muljana suspected that Adwayawarman was also the same person as Adwayabrahma, who was mentioned in thePadang Roco Inscription.[2] Adwayabrahma was the name of one of the Javanese high officials (Rakryan Mahamantri) of theSinghasari kingdom, who was sent to transport the statue of Amoghapasha to theDharmasraya kingdom.[2] If this notion is right, Adityawarman was a king of Malayo-Javanese mixed blood.[2]
It was told in the Javanese chroniclePararaton (Book of Kings) thatDara Jingga, one of the Malay princesses who was brought back to Java with thePamalayu expedition, was married to a Javanese nobleman (alaki Dewa).[2] His son was calledTuhan Janaka orSri Marmadewa, who finally reigned in Sumatra with the titleAji Mantrolot.[2][3] However, there are no other explicit historical sources that can be used to confirm that theDewa was Adwayawarman, or that his sonTuhan Janaka (orSri Marmadewa, Aji Mantrolot) was indeed Adityawarman.[2][3]
