Dharanindra, also known Indra and Śrī Saṅgrāmadhanañjaya, was the ruler of the Sailendra dynasty who was the King of Mataram in Central Java and possibly also of Srivijaya in South Sumatera. He has been described as a great conqueror and is credited for the Sailendras' overseas campaign.
He was mentioned in Kelurak inscription (dated 782) in his formal reign name Sri Sanggramadhananjaya. This inscription was issued during the reign of King Panangkaran, so it is possible that Sanggramadhananjaya and Panangkaran were the same person. In this inscription he was hailed as Wairiwarawiramardana or "the slayer of courageous enemies". The similar title also found in Ligor B inscription discovered in Southern Thailand Malay Peninsula; Sarwwarimadawimathana, which suggest it referred to the same person.
