After Makutawangsawardhana is Sri Dharmawangsa Teguh Anantawikramottunggadewa. Dharmawangsa managed to subdue Srivijaya.  In the leadership of Dharmawangsa book of the Mahabharata translate it to ancient java language that consisting of 18 parwa, but unfortunately now there are only 9 parwa, including Adiparwa, Wirataparwa, Bhismaparwa, etc, and also Siwasasana, translate it to ancient java language (the book of law in the year of 991) Since then the king of Srivijaya is Sri Sudamani Warmadewa, and it is unknown whether have any familial relationship with Warmadewa. This is not impossible, because Dharmawangsa has a major influence in Bali, in many inscriptions said that Mahendradatta name always takes precedence over the name of the King Udayana. At first inscription written in ancient Balinese which got the influence from the ancient Javanese language, and after that, it is written by the ancient Javanese language entirely. Therefore the language of Java and Bali have kinship (as well as the modern kingdom relationship), especially the subtle language (Krama inggil), In 1016 the kingdom Dharmawangsa, which is written on the inscription of Calcutta, destroyed. Airlangga managed to escape, and will retake his power. But after he have a daughter and two sons. kingdom split into two, because the seizure of power by his two son (the daughter who was appointed as Queen, reject it). After that power struggles between their families, and kingdoms colonized by majapahit, and their culture influenced by Majapahit Kingdom
