DINASTI GIRINDRAWARDHANA DYAH RANAWIJAYA DALAM KAJIAN PRASASTI PETAK TAHUN 1486 M.

Abstract

The aims of this study are: 1) to analyze the Girindrawardhana Dyah Ranawijaya dynasty from several inscriptions from the late Majapahit period; 2) How is the relationship between the Girindrawardhana Dyah Ranawijaya dynasty and the previous kings of Majapahit. The main sources used are inscriptions such as the Petak Inscription, the Trailokyapuri (Jiyu) I Inscription, the Trailokyapuri (Jiyu) II Inscription, and the Trailokyapuri (Jiyu) III Inscription. The primary source obtained by the author is observational data in the field, namely Dusun Hamlet, Petak Village, Pacet District, Mojokerto Regency. The results of the study reject the notion that the figure of Girindrawardhana Dyah Ranawijaya is the new ruler of the Majapahit kingdom from the new dynasty - the Girindrawardhana Dynasty - in the late Majapahit period. But the later kings of Majapahit used the title name Girindrawardhana which means "Successor of Girindra". They are still descendants of the previous Majapahit kings. Thus, in the Majapahit Kingdom there was only one ruling dynasty, namely the Girindra Dynasty (Girindrawansa) or the Rajasa Dynasty (Rajawansa) which was founded by Sri Rangah Rajasa Bhattara San Amurwwabhumi alias Ken Arok. Later Majapahit kings adopted a name with a title Girindrawarddhana which means "successor of Girindra".

Keywords: End of Majapahit Period, Girindrawardhana, Petak Inscription.
