Sri Ugrasena
Sang Ratu Sri Ugrasena was a Balinese king who is thought to have ruled between 837-864 Saka, or 915-942 CE.[1][2] The capital of his kingdom was Singhamandawa.[1] The king issued several inscriptions regarding various activities of his people, including giving royal endowment, tax regulation, religious ceremonies, and construction of public lodges and places of worship for pilgrims.[1][2] His reign was approximately the same period as King Sindok's of the Isyana dynasty in East Java.[1]
King Ugrasena is mentioned in at least 9 inscriptions, namely Sembiran A I inscription, Babahan I inscription, Srokadan A inscription, Pengotan A I inscription, Batunya A I inscription, Dausa A I and Dausa B I inscriptions, Serai A I inscription, and Goblek Pura Batur A inscription.[2] All inscriptions are written in Old Balinese, begin with the words yumu pakatahu (let it be known),[3] and end with the mention of the issuing body, namely the pangalapuan Singhamandawa (government advisory body in Singhamandawa).[2][3][4]
King Ugrasena was buried in a temple called Air Madatu, according to the inscription issued by King Tabanendra Warmadewa who ruled afterward.[1]
