Pagaruyung II inscription

Pagaruyung II inscription is a stone inscription attributed to King Adityawarman, dated 1295 Śaka or 1373 CE. It is also known as the Bukit Gombak II inscription. The text is written in both Sanskrit and Old Malay, using the Pallava script. The carving is fine and neatly executed, with strokes cut deeply into the stone. The inscription has suffered damage over time, leaving much of the text difficult to read. This inscription was first recorded in the Bukit Gombak area. It has since been relocated to the Adityawarman Inscription Complex, in Gudam, Pagaruyung Village, Tanjung Emas District, Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra. The complex lies along the highway connecting Pagaruyung and Batusangkar. In addition to this inscription, the site also contains several others, numbered Pagaruyung I through Pagaruyung VIII. The contents of this inscription are expressions of respect and worship for Adityawarman as a respected ruler. This inscription was officially designated as a National Cultural Heritage Object through Decree (SK) Number PM.05/PW.007/MKP/2010, issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Indonesia on January 8, 2010.
