General Editors: Tansen Sen and Geoff Wade

The Nalanda-Sriwijaya Series, established under the publications programme of the

Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore, has been created as a publications
avenue for the Nalanda-Sriwijaya Centre. The Centre focuses on the ways in which
Asian polities and societies have interacted over time. To this end, the series invites
submissions which engage with Asian historical connectivities. Such works might
examine political relations between states, the trading, financial and other networks
which connected regions, cultural, linguistic and intellectual interactions between
societies, or religious links across and between large parts of Asia.

The Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) was established as an autonomous

organization in 1968. It is a regional centre dedicated to the study of socio-political,
security and economic trends and developments in Southeast Asia and its wider
geostrategic and economic environment. The Institute’s research programmes are the
Regional Economic Studies (RES, including ASEAN and APEC), Regional Strategic
and Political Studies (RSPS), and Regional Social and Cultural Studies (RSCS).
ISEAS Publishing, an established academic press, has issued almost 2,000 books
and journals. It is the largest scholarly publisher of research about Southeast Asia
from within the region. ISEAS Publishing works with many other academic and
trade publishers and distributors to disseminate important research and analyses
from and about Southeast Asia to the rest of the world.

 FOREWORD

I am delighted to welcome a valuable addition to the limited canon of books

on India’s interaction with Southeast Asia. Indian Ocean studies still remain
unexplored, though the Indian Ocean and its “Maritime Silk Road” have
been the main focus of global and in particular Asian history in recent
decades.
The book titled Nagapattinam to Suvarnadwipa: Reflections on the Chola
Naval Expeditions to Southeast Asia deals with several fascinating subjects,
amongst them:

• the naval expeditions of the Cholas in the context of Asian history and
Indian Ocean trade system;
• South Indian merchant guilds, whose fame is strongly associated with the
Cholas and which are often regarded as a driving force behind the naval
expeditions of the Cholas;
• developments in Sri Lanka and Indonesia, which were most directly
affected by Chola expansionism.

India has been following a conscious “Look East Policy” since the early 1990s
and India’s present accentuated level of interaction with ASEAN is integral to
this approach. There has been steady progress in the India-ASEAN relationship
since this policy was initiated. India-ASEAN functional cooperation is diverse
and includes cooperation in several sectors. As regards political and security
issues, ASEAN also has expressed its desire to work with India to fight
terrorism, transnational crimes and similar problems. Recently, India concluded
a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with ASEAN, which will ensure lower duties
and a freer flow of trade in goods. In the cultural, educational and religious
fields, India’s efforts aim to promote people to people contacts, religious
tourism and linkages among institutions of higher learning. This volume fits
well within these objectives.

 viii Foreword

The present book Nagapattinam to Suvarnadwipa: Reflections on the

Chola Naval Expeditions to Southeast Asia, about the naval expeditions of the
South Indian Chola Dynasty in the eleventh century, is a welcome contribution
to Indian Ocean studies. I hope it will enhance its readers’ awareness of a vital
and sadly-neglected aspect of India’s involvement with its broader
neighbourhood.

 MESSAGE

At a time when the Indian psyche is slowly losing touch with its glorious
traditions and legacies of the past, ISEAS efforts to put together a conference
and publish this book, Nagapattinam to Suvarnadwipa, is of great significance.
This particular volume throws light on the naval expeditions during
the Chola Dynasty to Southeast Asia and its cultural impact on that part of
the globe.
I am sure the informative deliberations in this volume will be of great
interest to researchers, academics, scholars and students of history alike and
inspire them to undertake further research in this domain.
We the members of the Murugappa family in Chennai, India, through
our AMM Foundation are proud to be associated with this project, though in
a small way.

 PREFACE

The Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) hosted an international

conference on “Early Indian Influences in Southeast Asia: Reflections on
Cross-cultural Movements” from 21 to 23 November 2007 in Singapore. We
acknowledge the generous funding provided by the AMM Foundation of the
Murugappa Group, Chennai, India, who co-sponsored the conference. Two
volumes have emerged from the proceedings of the above conference: the
current volume Nagapattinam to Suvarnadwipa: Reflections on the Chola
Naval Expeditions to Southeast Asia, and one on the main theme of the
conference, that is, Early Indian Influence in Southeast Asia.
The South Indian Chola kings had developed a sophisticated maritime
enterprise centred on sea-based commerce with trading contacts in Malaya,
Sumatra, and China. This had produced an ocean-going fleet that was
dispatched by the Chola King Rajendra Chola I against the Srivijaya
Kingdom. The essays in this volume reflect on the naval expedition, which
is also mentioned in the inscription dated 1030–31 of the big temple of
Tanjavur in South India.
The volume contains seminal contributions by eminent historians and
scholars of Asian history who have meticulously presented their findings in
these essays. Perhaps the most significant contribution of this volume to
Asian maritime history are the translations of ancient and medieval Tamil and
Sanskrit inscriptions relating to Southeast Asia and China, and of the Chinese
texts describing or referring to the Chola Kingdom as Zhu-nian.
I am thankful to the contributors of this volume for sharing valuable
insights into their understanding and interpretation of the Chola naval
expedition to Southeast Asia. ISEAS is particularly indebted to Professor
Hermann Kulke for the intellectual leadership he provided for the project.
It is hoped that this volume will provide greater understanding of early Indian
influences in Southeast Asia and generate further research on the subject.

 INTRODUCTION

Next to the study of the continental Silk Road, the Indian Ocean and its
“Maritime Silk Road” have been the main focus of global, and in particular,
Asian history in recent decades. But strangely enough, Indian Ocean studies
still remain oddly bipartite. They emphasize predominantly the “classical”
period, with its strong Mediterranean connections on the one hand, and the
“early modern” period, with its rise of European dominance in the Indian
Ocean on the other. The long millennium from the fifth to the sixteenth
centuries, when the Indian Ocean finally emerged as an Asian Mediterranean
Sea, still remains underrepresented in international studies. The present
volume about the naval expeditions of the South Indian Chola dynasty to
Southeast Asia in the eleventh century is meant as a modest contribution to
fill this historiographical gap.
The great naval expedition of the Chola king, Rajendra I, who claimed
in his inscriptions to have “despatched many ships in the midst of the rolling
sea” and conquered more than a dozen harbour cities altogether of the famous
Southeast Asian kingdom of Srivijaya in Sumatra, and on the Malay Peninsula
in about AD 1025, was a unique event in the otherwise peaceful and
culturally exceedingly fruitful relation of India with its neighbours in Southeast
Asia. Already the last centuries of the first millennium BC witnessed
increasingly extending trade activities between India and Southeast Asia, and
the peacefulness of the spread of India’s culture across the Bay of Bengal
throughout the first millennium AD is unparalleled in world history. Buddhism
and Hinduism alike left their deep and lasting imprint on the emerging
cultures of mainland and maritime Southeast Asia. The first distinct South
Indian influences are usually linked with the famous Buddhist art of Amaravati,
and the Pallava Grantha of present-day Indonesia’s earliest inscriptions in the
fifth century AD, followed by the strong impact of Pallava and Chola art and
architecture in Southeast Asia.

 xiv Introduction

In view of these lasting peaceful relations of India, and of South India in

particular, with Southeast Asia, the great Chola invasions of Srivijaya in
1025, followed by another smaller naval expedition in c. 1070, are an issue
that still remains a conundrum for historians. In 1955, Nilakanta Sastri, the
late doyen of South Indian historians, rightly asked in his magnum opus on
the Cholas, “why was this expedition against the king of Kada-ram [Srivijaya]
undertaken and what were its effects?”1 and he concluded his detailed analysis
of the sources: “We have to assume either some attempt on part of Srivijaya
to throw obstacles in the way of the Co-l.a trade with the East, or more
probably, a simple desire on the part of Ra-jendra to extend his digvijaya
[“world conquest”] to the countries across the sea so well-known to his
subjects at home, and thereby add lustre to his crown.”2 The American
historian G.W. Spencer, on the other hand, in 1983 speaks, in the only
existing monograph on the Chola conquests of Sri Lanka and Srivijaya so far,
of “politics of expansion”,3 and in a previous paper (1976), even of “politics
of plunder”.4 More recent studies instead emphasize trade as the major
incentive of Rajendra’s unique naval expedition. In her study of the medieval
merchant guilds of South India, Meera Abraham concluded that “the raid was
undertaken partly at least to establish trading rights for Tamil-speaking
merchants in those areas, a trade from which the ruler, the merchant and the
Co-l.a bureaucracy could expect sizable profit”.5 In the most recent substantial
contribution to India’s medieval relation with Southeast Asia and China,
Tansen Sen concludes that the examination of hitherto unexplored Chinese
sources and reinterpretation of others “strengthens the commercial-motive
theory shared by a majority of scholars”.6 However, he also refers to the
often quoted passage of the Song work Zhufan zhi that those ships which
tried to avoid the payment of taxes at the ports of Srivijaya were attacked
and destroyed. “If true, then, both the Srivijayan diplomatic and military
attempts to block direct maritime links between Indian ports and the Song
markets may have been the principal factors for the Chola naval raids in
1025 and the 1070s.”7 Other scholars interpret Rajendra Chola’s raid on
Srivijaya’s harbours in the wider context of the Indian Ocean trade system
as the culmination of increasing tensions,8 caused by the rise of new
imperial Asian powers since the late tenth century and their struggle for
their share in the lucrative maritime trade.
An important result of the Singapore conference at which these papers
were presented was the confirmation of the cognition that the conundrum of
the naval expedition of the Cholas has been and is still caused primarily by
the scarcity of archaeological and literary sources. In fact, details of the
expedition are known only from a single source, viz. the often quoted and, in

00 Nagapattinam_Prelims 14 11/10/09, 9:12 AM

 Introduction xv

this volume, also frequently referred to Tamil praśasti (eulogy) of Rajendra’s

inscriptions.9 And what is perhaps even more surprising, Chinese sources are
completely silent about Rajendra’s naval raid on Srivijaya. However, we do
possess a considerably large number of contemporary Sanskrit, Tamil, and
especially Chinese sources10 about direct relations of the Cholas with
Southeast Asian countries and China that allow us to “contextualize” their
naval expeditions in the Indian Ocean trade system, and to draw relevant,
though often still hypothetical, conclusions about their causes. But several
of these sources are either difficult to access, or are not even translated yet.
Scholars of Indian history and Indian Ocean studies, and in particular the
editors of this volume, are, therefore, grateful to Professors Noboru
Karashima, Y. Subbarayalu, and Tansen Sen for agreeing after the conference
to prepare for the first time in two appendices to this volume a critical
edition of the texts as well as (partly new) translations of all relevant Indian
and Chinese sources of Chola activities in the Indian Ocean. Moreover, the
editors are obliged to Professor Karashima and Professor Subbarayalu to
have also contributed additional papers about the famous South Indian
merchant guilds. Together with these and the appendices, the proceedings
of the conference provide not only a state-of-the-art picture of the maritime
activities of the Cholas but also sufficient critically re-evaluated source
material and stimulating theories for future research on one of the most
fascinating periods in the history of South India and the Indian Ocean.
The first three chapters locate the naval expeditions of the Cholas in the
context of contemporary Asian history and the Indian Ocean trade system.
H. Kulke’s introductory chapter interprets Rajendra’s raid on Srivijaya’s harbour
cities as the culmination of the systematic quest of Rajaraja and his son
Rajendra for domination of maritime South India and its surrounding islands
in order to control the trade between the new emerging maritime powers of
the Fatimids in Egypt and the Song dynasty of China. The emerging
dominating position of the “Imperial Cholas” in the central portion of the
Indian Ocean trade system was bound to clash with Srivijaya’s hegemony over
the Strait of Malacca, the gate to the Chinese market. Another salient point
of the chapter is Srivijaya’s finally futile “ritual policy” to establish friendly
relations with the Cholas through temple donations at Nagapattinam. Whereas
Kulke focuses his deliberations on the rivalry and competition in the Bay of
Bengal, Tansen Sen extends in his paper on the “Chola-Srivijaya-China
triangle” the range of view further to the East by a detailed introductory
description of China’s rise to hegemony in the Indian Ocean trade system
under the Song dynasty from the late tenth century. Contrary to most
scholars working on the Cholas’ naval expeditions, he bases his analysis

00 Nagapattinam_Prelims 15 11/10/09, 9:12 AM

 xvi Introduction

primarily on Chinese sources and argues that even initially the relations
between Srivijaya and the Cholas were not as friendly as suggested by, for
example, K.A.N. Sastri. On the contrary, the Srivijayans, as the main
informants of Song scribes about the “barbarians of the Southern Sea”, seem
to have been systematically passing wrong information about the Chola
kingdom to them. This may be the reason Chinese annals failed to mention
the Chola raids, and later, even depict the Cholas as a tributary state of
Srivijaya. Another important contribution is that Sen revitalizes R.C.
Majumdar’s theory (which had been rejected by Sastri) that Rajendra attacked
Srivijaya for the first time by a minor invasion already in 1017. He concludes
that the invasions were a “retaliation for Srivijayan interference in direct trade
between southern India and Song China”. Karashima’s detailed summary of
the results of his recent survey of Chinese ceramics on South Indian and Sri
Lankan coasts sheds new light on Chinese trade with South India from the
ninth century and its tremendous increase from the thirteenth century. The
different discovery spots of Chinese ceramics which he surveyed on the
Coromandel and Malabar Coasts (for example, Periyapattinam and Kayal;
Kollama/Quilon, and Pandalayini-Kollam) are identified with toponyms
mentioned in Chinese sources which are quoted. Of particular interest for
this volume is his discovery of the yingqing-type porcelain sherds of the
eleventh/twelfth centuries at Gangaikondacholapuram, Rajendra’s capital,
“which might have been pieces brought from China by the envoys sent by
Rajendra.” The paper moreover contains important information about
merchant guilds that will be referred to below.
The following two chapters deal with nautical perspectives and the navy,
two subjects of central importance in examining the naval expeditions of the
Cholas. In their deliberations about the nautical aspects of Rajendra’s great
expedition in 1025, V. & S. Sakhuja are taking up an essential subject which,
however, requires a lot of “professional imagination” to rectify the deplorable
lack of historical source material. But they rightly point out that in 1025 the
Cholas were not only endowed with the accumulated nautical knowledge of
the seafaring Tamils of at least a millennium, but also with their own
experience of having already successfully organized naval expeditions to Sri
Lanka, the Maldives, and to the Andaman Islands at least, if not up to the
Malay Peninsula. They refer to the sophisticated knowledge of the Chola
seafarers of nautically relevant celestial bodies and important navigational
marks, and discuss moreover questions of logistics and provisioning, possible
shipbuilding centres, ports of departure, and the route followed. As for the
“Chola armada”, they rightly point out that it might largely have consisted of
ships taken from trade. Y. Subbarayalu’s paper on the Chola navy also brings

00 Nagapattinam_Prelims 16 11/10/09, 9:12 AM

 Introduction xvii

us back to the reason for the conundrum of the naval expeditions of the
Cholas. As an epigraphist, he rightly reminds us that due to the predominantly
donative character of the inscriptions, we get only very fragmentary pieces of
information about the actual mode of land-based warfare — and even less
about the navy of the Cholas. The only known epigraphical reference to it so
far comes from an inscription of the year 1187 which mentions a commander
of “the army of the seashore” which was certainly the navy. In Rajendra’s
inscriptions, only the term kalam occurs, which is the usual word for “ship”.
The famous 1088 inscription of the Tamil merchant inscription at Barus/
Sumatra refers to marakkalam or “ship made of timber”.
The next two chapters deal with Rajendra’s political and maritime centres
at Gangaikondacholapuram and Nagapattinam. According to S. Vasanthi,
Gangaikondacholapuram was founded by Rajendra probably after his sixth
regnal year and remained the imperial capital of the Cholas until it was razed
by the Pandyas in late thirteenth century. Apart from Rajendra’s still existing
monumental Brihadisvara temple, the fate of the architectural remains of the
once flourishing capital, as known from contemporary Tamil poems, was
sealed by the nearby villagers who even today take bricks from them for the
construction of their houses. Excavations by the Archaeological Survey of
Tamil Nadu, however, revealed important antiquities, decorative objects, and
Chinese ceramics. G. Seshadri’s article contains a comprehensive survey of
the literary sources of the history of Nagapattinam. His critical re-evaluation
of pre-sixth century sources (e.g. of the Sangam Age, Ptolemy, Pali literature,
etc.) dismisses all previous attempts to trace Nagapattinam in these early
sources. The earliest definite reference to it is provided by Saint Appar in the
early seventh century. Particular emphasis is given to Narasimhavarman II’s
embassies to China and his construction of the “Chinese Pagoda” of which
Seshadri publishes for the first time an eighteenth-century drawing held in
the British Library when most of the building was still extant. The article
concludes with the heyday of Nagapattinam under the Cholas, when it
became the focal point of Srivijaya’s attempt to establish friendly diplomatic
relations with the Cholas through temple donations.
The following two papers are devoted to South Indian merchant guilds,
whose fame is strongly associated with the Cholas and which are often
regarded as a driving force behind the naval expeditions of the Cholas against
Srivijaya. N. Karashima’s article, to which the second part of his already
introduced first article has to be added, is based on his research project on the
South Indian merchant guilds. Together with his colleagues Y. Subbarayalu
and P. Shanmugam, both of whom are also featured in this volume, he
collected more than three hundred inscriptions relating to these guilds, thus
