Sri Maravijayottunggavarman was a king of Srivijaya Kingdom of Sailendra dynasty, who reigned between 1008-c.1025 CE.[1] He was the son of King Sri Chudamanivarmadeva.[2] He was called Se-li-ma-la-pi in the Chinese chronicle.[3]

Biography

Maravijayottunggavarman started his reign around 1008 CE, when he was recorded to have sent three envoys to the emperor of China.[3] Srivijaya was also in a good relationship with the Chola Empire, which at that time was under King Rajaraja I.[2] The Leiden Inscription (1044 CE) mentions that Maravijayottunggavarman even built a Buddhist vihara known as Chudamani Vihara at Nagapattinam, dedicated to his late father's name.[2]

Chinese sources also speak of a major warfare between his kingdom and the Kingdom of Medang of East Java.[4] In 1016 CE, Srivijaya may be assisting a rebellious vassal state of Medang, causing the death of King Dharmavangsa Teguh Anantavikrama and the destruction of Medang Kingdom.[4]
