Image of Buddha sheltered with naga hoods (dated 1183 A.D.) at National Museum in Bangkok, Thailand. The sculpture was found at Wat Wiang temple--one of the three temples built by an order of a maharaja (king of kings) of Srivijaya from Sailendra Dynasty located at Chaiya in the province of Surat Thani in Malay Peninsula. --------------------------------------------------- Thalassocracy Srivijaya, maritime silk road, and Buddhist pilgrimage in 7th-11 century Through research over a hundred years, scholars have been successful to recognise that various names used in inscriptions (found in at least four present-day Asian countries—Indonesia, Thailand, India, China), ancient documents of Chinese dynasties and travel notes of Chinese Buddhism pilgrims and Arab merchants—all dated back from 7th to 13th centuries—were referring to Srivijaya empire. Srivijaya (Sribhoga, Bhoga, Shih-li-fo-shih, San-fo-tsi, Sarbaza, Zabag) was a thalassocracy that controlled the traffics of the maritime silk road on Strait of Malacca, that took advantage by acting as middle-man in the sea trade between Arab, India and China from 7th to 11th centuries, and was a center of ancient Buddhism learning outside India.
