Pagaruyung VI inscription
Pagaruyung VI inscription, formerly known as the Kapalo Bukit Gombak II inscription, is one of several inscriptions discovered at Kapalo Bukit Gombak, Baringin Nagari, Tanah Datar, West Sumatra, Indonesia. This monolithic stone inscription was carved on a block of andesite with a brownish-yellow hue. The text inscribed on it is closely related to the Hindu-Buddhist epigraphic tradition of the Indonesian archipelago, as it is written in Old Javanese, in contrast to most inscriptions found in West Sumatra, which are typically written in Old Malay or Sanskrit.
