Adityawarman

Adityawarman (c. 1294–c. 1375) was the last powerful ruler of the Mauli dynasty in central Sumatra. The Javanese chronicle Pararaton places his birth at Trowulan, capital of Majapahit; his father was the nobleman Adwayawarman and his mother Dara Jingga, a Malay princess of Dharmasraya.

As a senior minister of Majapahit, he helped direct its conquest of Sumatra's east coast, then in 1347 set up his own court at Malayapura near Pagaruyung and controlled the Minangkabau gold trade.

A patron of Tantric Buddhism, he last appears in an inscription of 1375 and was succeeded by his son Ananggawarman.
