[6] In the Kubu-Kubu inscription (905), Daksha is referred to as the king's companion (rowang haji), a very rare status that may indicate some degree of parity.
On 30 March 900, Balitung ordered the completion of waterworks and the irrigation of rice fields at the sanctuary of Tiga Ron ('Three Leaves'), which can be identified with present-day Kedulan temple.
An extensive narrative passage in the opening to the Tiga Ron inscription describes how Balitung noticed the poor condition of the temple and its fountain while he was trapping pigeons in the area.
Having sought information on the matter from Śivāstra, the official (sang pamegat) of Tiruan, he learned that the original construction dated back to the reign of Lokapala, but it had never been properly completed.
[9][10] In 869, a noblewoman called Manoharī had made provisions for the same dam, as shown in the Pananggaran and Sumundul inscriptions also discovered at the Kedulan site; this project remained unfinished after three decades.
This episode demonstrates Balitung's concern for the upkeep of holy sanctuaries and the importance of agrarian water management, as well as the infrastructural challenges faced by ancient Javanese society.
The Telang plates (11 January 904) mention the development of a complex named Paparahuan, led by Rakai Welar Mpu Sudarsana, located on the verge of the Bengawan Solo river.
Balitung freed the villages in Paparahuan and its surroundings from tax, and forbade the local inhabitants to collect payment from people who crossed the river.
A notable figure involved in the issuing of the Poh inscription was Balitung's grandmother Tammer; in the list of attendees she precedes Daksha and is second only to the king himself.
While the grammar of this phrase is somewhat ambiguous, a likely explanation is that Medang and Poh Pitu refer to two separate locations where the pre-Balitung kings had their palaces (cf.
On 19 October 907, Balitung granted the village of Rukam to his grandmother, the lady of Sanjiwana, as compensation for property she had lost due to a volcanic eruption (guntur).
