Mulavarman

Mulavarman was a king of a kingdom of the island of Borneo around the year A.D. 400. What little is known of him comes from seven inscriptions found at a sanctuary.[1] He is known to have been generous to brahmins through the giving of gifts including thousands of cattle and large amounts of gold. [2]

He was the grandson of Kundunga, and the son of Asvavarman. The sanctuary bears the name of the founder of the dynasty, Vaprakesvara.[3]:52
