Sunda Kingdom - Formation and Growth - Reunification of Sunda and Galuh

Reunification of Sunda and Galuh

Sunda Kingdom and Galuh Kingdom coexisted under a strange and complex relationship, occasionally united under one king, and at other times allied kingdoms under different rulers.

Since the crown prince of Sunda died before King Tarusbawa, Princess Tejakencana (the daughter of the crown prince) was hailed as the heiress of Sunda. She married Rakeyan Jamri, son of Bratasenawa (the third king of Galuh Kingdom and a son of Wretikandayun) and Princess Sanaha (from Kalingga). In 723, Jamri succeeded Tarusbawa as second king of Sunda. As the lord of Sunda, he was known as Prabu Harisdarma and when he ascended the throne of Galuh he was known as Sanjaya.

The two kingdoms united as the Sunda Kingdom under the following kings:

  • Sanjaya (723 – 732 AD) with the capital city in Kawali Galuh (present-day Ciamis city)
  • Tamperan or Rakeyan Panaraban (in 732 - 739 AD) with the capital in Kawali Galuh
  • Wuwus (819 – 891 AD) with the capital city in Pakuan (present-day Bogor City)
  • Darmaraksa (891 – 895 AD) with the capital in Pakuan
  • Prabu Guru Darmasiksa with the capital city in Sawunggalah (present-day Kuningan city)
  • Rakeyan Jayadarma resided in Kawali
  • Prabu Ragasuci (1297–1303 AD) resided in Saunggalah
  • Prabu Citraganda (1303–1311 AD) resided in Pakuan

  • Prabu Ajiguna Wisesa (1333–1340 AD) resided in Kawali.
