Dinoyo kec. Wagir, kab. Malang Candi Badut is an early temple for East Java, having been built in the Central Javanese period. First evidence of East Java in history is a 760 M inscription found at ds. Dinoyo. Language Sanskrit in Kawi writing. The insciption talks of the Kanjuruhan kingdom that rule in the 8th C with king Dewa Sinha.[Dewasimha] He has a son Limwa who succeeded his father and became king with the name Gajayana. He established a temple for the worship of Agastya. The Agastya statue was originally of sandalwood, and later replaced with a copy of black stone. The statue was inaugurated in 760 in a ceremony carried out by ordained priests. The king made a grant of land, ox, slaves and anything else necessitated by for the ceremony. He ordered buildings built for the brahmins and the guests. Script
of the inscription developed from Pallawa. Later Pallawa closer to Old Javanese
than to early Pallawa forms. The building still found intact close to Kejuron is Candi Badut, but it does not contain an Agastya statue but a lingga. The lingga could be a representation of Agastya, as the statue uses the word <putikeswara>. The links between Kanjuruhan and Mataram (C-Java) are not known. Both are Ciwaite kingdoms, and Badut's style is Central Javanese. Chinese records mention that Holing was moved east between 742 and 755 to Po-lu-kia sieu by king Ki-yen. The
Prasasti Dinoyo was found in three pieces. The central piece was encountered in
Dinoyo village, the lower part in Mojosari some 2 km west of Dinoyo. Other
Old Javanese inscriptions in East Java. 873 bronze plates found at Keboan-pasar
in the Brantas valley and originating of that ara. Points to a well-organised
Hindu-Javanese society. 891 edict of Singasari on a stone and continued on the
back of a Ganesha statue for want of space. [literature:
