The Batutulis inscriptions were created by King Surawisesa to honor and commemorate his late father, the great king Sri Baduga Maharaja (r. 1482 – 1521) or known as Ratu Haji Pakuan Pajajaran Sri Sang Ratu Dewata.

[2] Sri Baduga Maharaja is also known in local tradition as King Siliwangi.

He is the one who demarcated Pakwan here, (being) the child of Rahyang Dewa Niskala, the one who vanished at Gunung Tiga; the grandchild of Rahyang Niskala Wastu Kancana, the one who vanished to Nusa Larang.
