Ë- The Name Of Malang
Malang City Indonesia, has the history and origins of
the public needs to know in Indonesia and around the world. History Malang city
Indonesia preceded by a wise king and very scared, Dewasimha name. He keeps a
glittering palace and sanctified by the holy fire Putikewara (Ciwa). Blessed is
the King Dewasimha because the gods have bestowed on her a son as heir to the
crown. Son who later became the royal patron named Liswa or also known as Gajayana.
Gajayana a king who was so loved by his people, virtuous and in doing good to
the pastor and verily, verily devoted to the sage Agastya.
As a sign of sincere devotion to the sage, the King
Gajayana had built a gorgeous temple to mahresi well as to be an antidote to
all diseases and plagues the kingdom. If his ancestors had made Agstya of
sandalwood statues, the king Gajayana as expressing devotion and respect has
ordered the famous carvers throughout the kingdom to make a statue of Agastya
beautiful black stone, so that all can see it. Agastya statue Kumbhayoni called
it, on the orders of the virtuous king was inaugurated by the Regveda, the
Brahmins, the leading priests and the people of the land who are experts, in
Saka, Nayana-Vava-Rase (682) month right Magasyirsa on Friday, half-light.
He is the mighty King Gajayana it is a very religious
respect for the clergy. Awarded to their land and their cows are fat, some
buffalo, slave men and women, as well as the various necessities of life such
as bathing soaps, material presentation ceremony, big houses full of survival
supplies such as: the Brahmins and in guests, complete with clothes, bedding
and rice, barley. Those who obstruct the will of the king to give gifts like
that, good brothers, the sons of kings, and the First Minister, then they will
be harmed by bad thoughts and will go to hell and not going to gain power in
world or in another world. He, on the contrary always pray and hope that his
descendants rejoice in the gifts, pay attention to the holy spirit, respect for
the Brahmans and devout worship, to do good, to run the victims, and study the
Vedas. Hopefully they keep the empire’s incomparable as the King has been
keeping.
Gajayana king had a daughter who would continue
Vamcakula Uttejena wise father. The above story is the history of Malang city
Indonesia, lifted from one inscription called “inscription Dinaya or
Kanjuruhan” according to the name of the village is mentioned in the charter.
As noted therein, this inscription contains elements dating in candrasengkala
which reads: “Nayana-vaya-rase” Çaka worth 682 years or 760 years after Christ.
If the inscription was issued by King Gajayana in the year 760 AD, then at
least the inscription is the oldest written source about the facilities that
the political establishment Kanjuruan empire in Malang. The place is now known
as Dinoyo located 5 miles west of Malang city Indonesia. In this place
according to residents there, still found Dewasimha sculpture set amid the
market despite missing almost sank into the ground.
Malangkucecwara derived from three words, namely:
Mala, which means everything is dirty, fraud, falsehood, or falsehood, Angkuca
which means destroying or destroy and Icwarayang means God. Thus
Malangkucecwara means “a false DESTROY GOD”. In the unfortunate history of the
city of Indonesia, Malang name has been ingrained for its residents. But the
name is still a question mark. While historians continue to explore the sources
to get the right answers to the above statement. Until now it has acquired
several hypotheses regarding the origin of the name of Malang. Malangkucecwara
symbol is written in Malang city Indonesia, according to one hypothesis is the
name of a sacred building. The name of the sacred building itself is found in
two inscriptions of King Balitung of Central Java which Mantyasih inscription
in 907, and the 908 inscriptions found in one place between Surabaya-Malang.
However, where the location of the actual shrine Malangkucecwara, historians
still get the deal. The building where the suspected party is in the holy
mountains Buring, one that ran in the mountains east Malang city Indonesia
where there is a mountain peak named Malang.
History is full of Malang city Indonesia puzzle,
proving the truth of these allegations is still ongoing as it turns out, to the
west of Malang city Indonesia there is also a mountain named Malang. The other
party actually suspect that the location of the sacred buildings of the region,
Overlapping, one place in the northern city of Malang, Indonesia. To date in
the area there are a village named Malangsuka, which some historians, probably
derived from the spoken word Malankuca reversed. The above opinion is also
corroborated by a number of ancient buildings that were scattered in the area,
such as temples and temple Jago Left, both of which Singasari royal relic. Of
the two hypotheses mentioned above is also uncertain Which is presumably
earlier known by the name derived from the name of Malang shrine
Malangkucecwara it. Is the area around Malang now, or do both mountains are
named Malang around that area. A copper inscription found at the end of 1974
banh plantation, Wlingi, southwest of Malang, in the written part as follows:
“………… taning sakrid Malang-akalihan wacid opponent spur pasabhanira dyah Spleen
Makanagran I ………”. The meaning of the above sentence is: “…….. in the east
where hunting around Malang with wacid and Mancu, rice Dyah Spleen is ……… ”
From the sound of it turns Malang inscription is one
place in the east of the places mentioned in the inscription tiu. Of the
inscription is obtained evidence that the use of the name of Malang has existed
at least since the 12th century AD. Previous hypotheses, may differ with the
opinion that the suspect Malang name comes from the word “Denied” or “hinder”
(in Javanese means Malang). Once Sunan Mataram who wants to spread its
influence to the East Java have tried to occupy the area of ??Malang. Residents
of the area to fight a great war. Sunan Mataram therefore assume that the
people of the area to obstruct, deny or poor on purpose Sunan Mataram. Since
then, the area was named Malang.
