Kediri (Panjalu) in 1200 is known from a few royal charters on stone and copper, which this corpus first printed: the records of Kamesvara (about 1182 to 1194) and of Srngga, that is Kertajaya (from about 1194 to 1222), among them the Kamulan charter of 1194 and the Palah (Panataran) record of 1197, with the king's titles, his seal, the officials of the court and the villages freed from tax. They show a king at Daha with the full Javanese court apparatus in 1200; they say nothing of events, and the fall of Kediri to Ken Angrok in 1222 is known only from later texts. Sunda and Bali have a handful of contemporary records of their own (the Bali inscriptions edited by Goris) which are not in this corpus.
