What is "kameshwara"

Kameshwara, Bamesvara, or Kameçvara was the second monarch of Kediri kingdom and ruled circa 1117–1130 CE. His formal stylized name was Çri Maharaja Rake Sirikan çri Kameçvara Sakalabhuvanatustikarana Sarvanivaryyaviryya Parakrama Digjayottunggadeva. The Lanchana (royal seal) of his reign was a skull with a crescent moon called chandrakapala, the symbol of Shiva.

Tradition mentioned King Kameshwara as a man of prowess and a strikingly handsome man. His name derived from Kama- ishvara, another name of Kamadeva, the Hindu god of love and desire. His queen consort Çri Kirana was also mentioned as a woman with extraordinary beauty. Kameshvara was the prince of Kediri, while Çri Kirana was the princess of Kahuripan. The royal marriage between Kameshwara and Kirana was celebrated as the reunification of Java, between Kediri (Panjalu) and Kahuripan ( Janggala), marking the reunification of former Airlangga's kingdom.

In 1530 Kameshwara was succeeded by his son, Jayabaya.
