Rudra Vikrama

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Rudra Vikrama (or maybe Rudravarman)[1] was an 8th-century king of Srivijaya Kingdom who sent two emissaries to China, first one in 728 CE and the second one in 742 CE.[2] His name was recorded in the chronicle New Book of Tang (Xīn Tángshū) as Liu-t'eng-wei-kung,[1][2] and his royal title was Ho-mi-to which could be the Sanskrit word Amrta ("immortal").[1]

During his reign, it was assumed that Srivijaya continued its northern expansion along the

Malacca Strait and the southeastern one around the Sunda Strait, to ensure its trade hegemony.[2]
