What reading level is The Hindu Ruins in the Plain of Parambanan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He alone is enthroned in the richly ornamented inner room of the greatest temple, represented by an image that surpasses all the others in size, and he is also found in the porch of this temple, but even on the outside of the other two temples the ruimber of his images is superior to that of the other gods ; moreover he is represented in Guru shape on the Brahma-temple with the exclusion of all others.
In the three lateral chapels of the middle temple we again find Siva (as Guru), with his sakt...i and his son. So in the northern chandi of the east row we see iva also, and in the chief temple of this row his vahana, the nandi.
So Siva is incontestably the chief god, who inspired the principal idea of the whole structure, just as he is the chief god, represented in Mahayanistic temples in India, Nepal and Tibet, and the only one I saw (sometimes with his son Ganessa) in Hinayanistic pago- das, at least at Colombo and Kelany in Ceylon. But, whereas in those countries he is identified with Buddha, at Parambanan he is treated as identical with Brahma, with Vishnu, and with all those who, in the posture of Bodhisatvas or Buddha's sons, or as avatar as of the same Primordial Buddha (Adi- Buddha), were worshipped by the people, wholly in conformance to the doctrine of Ma hay an a, as preached by Tantular (see above).
