A Note on Spelling <strong>and</strong> Transliteration<br />

This book draws upon many sources, which in turn have used differ-<br />

ing ways of transliterating Sanskrit <strong>and</strong> Old Javanese or Malay words. To<br />

try to maintain some kind of coherence throughout the text, I have used<br />

Sanskrit spellings for most words <strong>and</strong> names. In an <strong>Indonesia</strong>n context, the<br />

letter v would be replaced by a w; for instance Śiwa instead of Śiva. I have<br />

maintained the Javanese spelling only for the names of rulers, or in quotations<br />

<strong>from</strong> other sources.
