Origin & history
The dynasty appeared almost two centuries after the fall of the Sailendra dynasty that ruled Srivijaya , after the Chola invasion in 1025, led by Rajendra from Tamil Nadu , India. It seems that the family was once the member of the Srivijayan mandala and stepped into the power to rule the former Srivijayan mandala which included Sumatra and Malay Peninsula . The dynasty was based on the Batanghari river system, initially centered in Muaro Jambi , and considered as the successor state of Srivijaya. In the later period, the kingdom's capital shifted inland upstream from Batanghari to Dharmasraya
