Pucangan inscription
The Pucangan inscription is a stone inscription of 1041 issued by Airlangga, king of Kahuripan in East Java, in Sanskrit and Old Javanese. It recounts the destruction of the court of his predecessor Dharmawangsa in 1016 and Airlangga's rise to restore the kingdom. The stone, known as the Calcutta Stone, was taken to India in the 19th century and is kept in the Indian Museum, Kolkata.
