Rakai Warak in Old Javanese Inscriptions of the ninth – tenth centuries
The political history of Central and East Java in the late first millennium CE is known primarily from inscriptions in Old Javanese. Electronic catalogues with accessible English translations of inscriptions—namely, Inventaris Daring Epigrafi Nusantara Kuno/IDENK and DHARMA/Domestication of ‘Hindu’ Asceticism and the Religious Making of South and Southeast Asia—alongside ongoing epigraphic field and museum research, has accelerated the study of O…
Buddhist Thought in Ancient Java According to the Saṅ Hyaṅ Kamahāyānikan
Buddhist thought in ancient Java remains understudied and little known, despite the preservation of Buddhist writings. The article attempts to shed light on the content of the bilingual treatise Saṅ Hyaṅ Kamahāyānikan, which has survived in three manuscripts of the Lombok collection (M.S. Or. 5068, 5083, 5129 of the Leiden University). The treatise is a Sanskrit-Old Javanese text that comments on and develops the provisions of Sanskrit mantras…
Latest Researches of Old Javanese Epigraphy
The study of inscriptions from Java in Old Javanese, Old Malay, and Sanskrit has been ongoing for over a century and a half but the compilation of online databases has begun in recent years only: the catalogue of all inscriptions from insular Southeast Asia—the Inventaris Daring Epigrafi Nusantara Kuno / IDENK project and the online publication of transcriptions and translations as part of the Domestication of ‘Hindu’ Asceticism and the Religious…

The Splendour and Misery of the Anthropological Crisis
The concept of the anthropological crisis is very popular in contemporary Russian humanities: the Russian Scientific Electronic Library (Elibrary.ru) includes more than 10,000 publications with the keyword “anthropological crisis”. On the contrary, Google gives links to Russian publications only when searching “anthropological crisis”. This keyword has no reference in the famous online book catalogue Worldcat. org. Nowadays, English-speaking scie…

Индонезийская элита и награждения 2024 г
Связь политических элит и наградной системы несомненна, но ее конкретное выражение зависит от общественно-государственного строя и его особенностей. Индонезийское общество, с одной стороны, переживает демократические преобразования с конца прошлого столетия, а с другой – сохраняет во многом иерархический, патриархальный характер; несмотря на формальный отказ от «двойной функции», политической и военной, армия сохраняет свое значение. В данной ста…

The Term ācārya in Old Javanese Inscriptions
Old Javanese vocabulary remains understudied as many Old Javanese texts, primarily stone and copperplate inscriptions, have not been published or their contents were not considered in Petrus Josephus Zoetmulder’s Old-Javanese-English Dictionary (1982). Numerous Old Javanese titles also need closer examination as there is no scholarly convention about their interpretation. The paper investigates the term ācārya in Old Javanese inscriptions in its …
Is Wife a Position? Legal Practice in the Indohesian Award System
Award system functioning implies many legal practices which cannot be found in official documents but influence nominating, assigning, presenting and wearing awards. The paper examines the origins of one of the award legal customs of Indonesia—awarding the highest orders of the state—the Star of the Republic of Indonesia (Bintang Republik Indonesia) and the Star of Mahaputera (Bintang Mahaputera)—to the spouses of presidents, vice-presidents and …
Sanfoqi 三佛斉—srivijaya or Angkor? Notes on Liam Kelley’s Hypothesis
Традиционное представление о многовековой островной империи Шривиджая с центром в Палембанге на Суматре в VII–XI в. и в Джамби в конце XI – XIII вв. давно подвергалось критике. Предложенное Лиамом Келли отождествление Саньфоци 三佛斉 – предполагаемого обозначения Шривиджаи в китайских источниках с времен империи Сун – с Ангкорской империей в корне подрывает сложившуюся карту средневековой Юго-Восточной Азией.

Alcoholic Drinks in Old Javanese Inscriptions
Though alcoholic culture of pre-Islamic Java was thoroughly examined by Jiří Jákl in his seminal monograph Alcohol in Early Java, there are blank spots in epigraphic research of Old Javanese inscriptional evidence. There is no list of Old Javanese inscriptions which mention alcoholic drinks and their consumption. My article aims at enlisting and examining available references to alcohol drinks in Old Javanese epigraphy. The main sources are Old J…
Sanskrit Legacy, The National Armed Forces, and Modern Political Culture of Indonesia
Despite seventy years of studying, the functioning of Sanskrit and Old Javanese loanwords in modern Indonesian remain understudied. There are a lot of Sanskrit loans in various spheres of modern Indonesian. Many Indonesian military units have Sanskrit names. There are famous Sanskrit loans for Indonesian official ideology Pancasila and for the Indonesian national emblem Garuda Pancasila. Many Indonesian orders, decorations and medals also have Sa…
Recent Researches of Insular Southeast Asia and the Problem of Srivijaya
Historical geography of early Southeast Asia remains a point at issue since the late nineteenth century. Since George Cœdès discovered ‘The Kingdom of Srivijaya’ in his 1918 paper, its history, chronology, and localization is still a subject of long debates despite a few data available. While the center of Srivijaya may be located in the area of modern Palembang in South Sumatra because of Old Malay and Sanskrit inscriptions and other archaeologi…

Perceptions of Alcoholic Drinks in Ancient India
Ancient Indian treatises on religious piety—dharmasūtra and dharmaśāstra—shame alcoholic drinks and drinking. Although there were many weak alcoholic beverages like beer, there is still a quarrel of distillation.

Education in the Age of Marginalism and the Alienation of Knowledge
Global changes of contemporary education are so large-scale that they need a serious reconsideration.

The importance of education was based on the fact that a society could develop if and only if its members had an appropriate education. Nowadays educati…

Sperm in the Laws of Manu
The Laws of Manu focus on truly religious behavior of the Brahmins and of the other social groups. At the same time, Kamasutra analyses sexual practices of the citizens independently of their social groups. The difference in aims and audience of both treatises makes the perception of sperm different. Kamasutra views sperm positively or neutrally as an essential aspect of coitus. The Laws of Manu treats sperm in a double-faced manner. On the one h…

The inscription K. 733 from Phnom Preah Vihear and the root vidyā- in Cambodia
Early political, social and cultural history of Cambodia remains the realm of enigmas. Traditional accounts of a succession of the great kingdoms of Funan, Chenla and Angkor Empire (Briggs 1951; Cœdès 1968) seem but a simplification. Recent scholarship tends to view the early political landscape of Cambodia in terms of many small principalities and unstable claims to sovereignty (Vickery 1998). Furthermore, scholars have changed the term ‘Indian’…

Ancient canals of the Mekong River Delta
The paper offers an overview of recent archaeological excavations of ancient canals in the Mekong River Delta.

In the late twentieth to early twenty first centuries, the canals of the Mekong Delta were investigated by the American, French, and Vietnamese archaeologists. The canals were built during the first cen…

Ten years later, the award system of Indonesia included several orders—the Star of the Republic of Indonesia (Bintang Republik Indonesia), the Star of Mahaputera (Bintang Mahaputera), the Sacred Star (Bintang Sakti), th…
