Dharmasetu
Dharmasetu was an 8th-century maharaja of Srivijaya. Under his reign, he successfully incorporated Pan Pan, a kingdom located in the north of the Malay Peninsula into Srivijayan sphere of influence before 775 AD.
At an old monastery of Nakhon Si Thammarat in modern-day Thailand, there is a stele indicating that Dharmasetu ordered the construction of three sanctuaries dedicated to Bodhisattvas Padmapani, Vajrapani and Buddha in Ligor.[1]
The inscription further stated that the Dharmasetu was the head of the Sailendra of Java. This is the first instance of relationship known existed between Srivijaya and the Sailendra.[1] Dewi Tara, the daughter of Dharmasetu later married a member of the Sailendra family by the name of Samaratunga whom later would assumed throne of Srivijaya around 792.[2][3] The relationship between Srivijaya and the Sailendra became intimately close afterwards.
He was succeeded by his son-in-law Sangramadhananjaya, around 782.[4]
