Grahi inscription
Grahi inscription, or officially Than Phra Phuttharup Wat Hua Wiang Inscription is an inscription found in Chaiya, southern Thailand, written in Old Khmer language with Old Sumatran script, and dated to 1183 CE. The five-line inscription is written on the pedestal of a bronze Buddha statue that was discovered in 1904 at Wat Wiang temple in Chaiya and was stored at Wat Hua Wiang temple. The Buddha statue is currently a collection of Bangkok National Museum. The name Grahi, called Kia-lo-hi in the Chinese Zhu Fan Zhi record, is considered to be the old name of Chaiya. The city was part of Tambralinga, once a border polity between Srivijaya and Khmer kingdoms in the Malay Peninsula.
Older names of the inscription as registered in Thai official records include S.D.9 and 25th inscription; at the base of Wat Hua Wiang's Buddha statue.
