Research Abstract |
The Sanskrit word devaraja, frequently found in the Khmer inscriptions, has been clarified to mean ‘kings as gods’. It has been considered that some Khmer temples were tombs of rulers where the images of the deified rulers were enshrined. The devaraja cult was also popular in the East Javanese Period. But in Indian literatures, ‘devaraja’ is generally understood as ‘king of gods’, and the devarajacult does not seem to be popular in India. Though the images with inscriptions of the king’s names are not rare, they are surmised to denote the sacredness of their kingship.
