SHIVASTUTI. It is known that many centuries ago India had trade and
cultural links with the far eastern nations. We could see
evidences of this fact even today in these countries. There are
Hindu temples. Hindu festivals are celebrated.  People know our
puranas and epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata. The temples there
contain inscriptions that contain hymns on Hindu gods and goddesses.
A hymn on Shiva found in Bali, an island
near Java is given below along with some other verses on Shiva. ##
