Copy of the Hantang Old Javanese inscription
- Scope & Content:
-
'Copy of an inscription on stone in the kawi character and language with a translation in Modern Javan - in the eastern part of the island.'
This is a copy of the Hantang inscription (D 9 in the National Museum in Jakarta), dated saka 1057 = A.D. 1135 (Brandes 1913: 154-158 (OJO LXVIII)),
NB Ricklefs & Voorhoeve 1977: 178 erroneously give the date as saka 1056=A.D. 1134.
The text of the inscription is given in three lines: firstly, in bold black ink is a visual reproduction of the original Old Javanese language in the original Kawi script; second, in red ink, is a copy of the Old Javanese text with the Kawi transliterated into modern Javanese script; thirdly, in cursive black ink, is a free translation of the Old Javanese text in modern Javanese.
The copy includes a (not very accurate) drawing of the Narasiṅha emblem of Jayabhaya at the top of the inscription.
