Dyah Pancapana

Dyah Pancapana (7 October 746 – 1 April 784)[1] or regnal name Śrī Mahārāja Dyaḥ Pañcapaṇa Kariyāna Paṇaṃkaraṇa Śrī Saṅgrāmadhanañjaya, was the second king of Mataram from the Shailendra dynasty whose kingdom was centered on the Java island Indonesia.

The first four Sanjaya dynasty lines after King Sanjaya (Panangkaran, Panunggalan, Warak and Garung), which was known as the Amrati Kings,[4] competed over their power and religious influences with the Sailendras princes in the south of central Java who had arisen since 779.

There was only an isolated kingship in the east of Java, Gajayana, who appeared to have control over the Mount Kawi region in 760.

From the Kalasan and Ratu Boko inscriptions, there were stated that Panangkaran granted permission requested by the collective guru of the Sailendra king to build Buddhist sculptures, shrines and monasteries in honor to the goddess Tara.

In order to show his respect to the guru, Panangkaran consented the building of the shrine by giving the village of Kalasan to the Buddhist community.
