Prasasti Kuburajo I, Sanskrit stele in Limo Kaum, Indonesia.

Located in West Sumatra, this inscription features 16 lines of text carved on brownish-yellow quartz sandstone, measuring 108 centimeters in height.

The stele was discovered in 1877 and first published by Kern in 1913, providing evidence of King Adityawarman's reign in 14th-century Indonesia.

The inscription contains references to Sri Lokeswara deity and combines Sanskrit with Old Javanese script, reflecting the Hindu-Buddhist influences in medieval Sumatra.

Metal props support the stone structure, which underwent restoration after its temporary disappearance and rediscovery in 1987-1988.

The text mentions Kanaka Medinindra, a term parallel to Suwarnna Bhumi, indicating West Sumatra's rich gold resources during the medieval period.
