Mataram was an Indianized Kingdom based in Central Java between the 8th and 10th centuries CE. The centre of the kingdom was moved from Central Java to East Java by Mpu Sindok . The move may have been caused by an eruption of the volcano Gunung Merapi or a power struggle. The first king of Mataram was Sanjaya , who drove the Sailendra s from Java and left inscriptions in stone. The monumental Hindu temple of Prambanan in the vicinity of Yogyakarta was built by Daksa . Dharmawangsa ordered the translation of the Mahabharata into Old Javanese in 996. The kingdom collapsed into chaos at the end of Dharmawangsa's reign under military pressure from Srivijaya . Airlangga , a son of Udayana of Bali and a relative of Dharmawangsa re-established the kingdom (including Bali) under the name of Kahuripan . LIST OF RULERS
