I can't understand why they named it Swarnabhumi, did they admit that the land was once controlled by a kingdom in Sumatra? Swarnabhumi or Swarnadwipa is an ancient name of Sumatra
@@dhammasabaisabaiusa2958 Wangsa Sailendra or Syailendra (Śailendramśa) is the name of the dynasty or dynasty of kings who ruled in Mdaŋ (Medang Kingdom or Ancient Mataram Kingdom), in Central Java since 752 and ruled Sriwijaya, on the island of Sumatra since the leadership of Balaputradewa Putra from Central Java. Most of its kings were adherents and protectors of Mahayana Buddhism. However, according to the Sojomerto inscription, Dapunta Sailendra, who became the ancestor of the Sailendra dynasty, was a Hindu of the Siwa sect. From Central Java, and the Sailendra dynasty is thought to have originated from the Kalingga Kingdom in the 5th century in Central Java and has many relics of temples located on the Kedu plains, Central Java. Besides originating from Central Java, other areas such as Sumatra or even India and Cambodia, was once proposed as the origin of this dynasty, but there are no sideboards or inscriptions to support it. Borobudur temple was built in 740 AD when the Syailendra dynasty was located in the ancient Medang or Mataram kingdom on the island of Java which ruled Java, Sumatra, the peninsula of Malaysia and Cambodia, but one of the kings who was placed in the power of the Syailendra kingdom, namely Jayavarman in Cambodia, betrayed the head of the royal family in Java and founded the Khmer empire in Cambodia in India it is written on the Nalanda inscription in the 9th century "We were asked by the illustrious Maharaja Balaputradewa, king Suwarnadwipa through a courier arranged by me to build a monastery at Nalanda which this decree granted to dedicate to the blessed Buddha, the abode of all the great virtues such as the Prajnaparamita, for worship, offerings, knowledge , shelter, alms, bed, the needs of the sick like medicine;....." the Nalanda inscription There is a kind-hearted king who comes from Suwarnadwipa named Balaputradewa from the Syailendra dynasty who is a Buddhist descendant of Wiravairimathana
the name of the island of Sumatra in the era of the Buddhist Hindu kingdom was suwarnabhumi or suwarnadwipa and for example we look at records from all over the world about the island of Sumatra, but the name would be translated with whatever name it still means island of gold, for example Claudius Stolemus in the 1st century AD mentioned that there was a very large kingdom on the other side India whose name is Agrippa and that translated means golden island. and then the monk I-Tsing who came to Indonesia at the beginning of the century he also mentioned that there was a kingdom of shi li fo shih or chin-chou which also means island or golden land - monk I-Tsing called Sumatra is an island as chin-chou - the Nalanda balaputradewa inscription comes from Swarnadwipa - the Ramayana epic mentions a place called suvarnarupyaka - pomponius mela mentions Chryse, Argyre and Aurea Chersonese all those different terms mean the same thing: golden island and there are lots of facts and notes which all point to what Suvarnabhumi meant, it could not be other than Sumatra.
