Carved in the early 400s, in what is today Jakarta, Indonesia, this stone contains information about civic hydraulic projects. It records the irrigation and water drainage project of the Candrabaga river by the order of Rajadirajaguru, and the water project on the Candrabaga and Gomati rivers by the order of King Purnawarman in the 22nd year of his reign. The king ordered the digging project to straighten and widen the rivers and create canals, in order to avoid flooding in the wet season and to provide needed water in the dry season. Today the stone resides in the National Museum of Indonesia.
