[[Image:kutai Prasasti of Mulawarman.JPG|thumb|upright|The ancient [[Yūpa#Yūpa inscription in Indonesia|Yūpa]] inscription (one of the earliest and oldest Sanskrit texts written in ancient Indonesia) dating back to the [[4th century CE]] written by [[Brahmin]]s under the rule of King [[Mulavarman]] of the [[Kutai#History|Kutai Martadipura Kingdom]] located in [[East Kalimantan|eastern Borneo]]]]
The earliest Sanskrit text which was founded in the [[Indonesian Archipelago]] was at [[East Kalimantan|Eastern Borneo]] dating back to 400 CE known as the [[Yūpa#Yūpa inscription in Indonesia|Mulavarman inscription]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Kulke |first=Hermann |title=A History of India |year=1998 |page=145 |publisher=Psychology Press |isbn=9780415154826 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=V0GEtXp-GsUC |access-date=21 March 2023 |archive-date=23 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231223185234/https://books.google.com/books?id=V0GEtXp-GsUC |url-status=live }}</ref> This is one of the reason of strong influence of Indian culture that entered the [[Malay Archipelago]] during the [[Greater India|Indianization era]], and since then, Indian culture has been absorbed towards Indonesian culture and language. Thus, the Sanskrit culture in Indonesia exists not as a religious aspect but more towards a cultural aspect that has been present for generations, resulting in a more cultural rather than Hinduistic value of the [[Indonesian people]]. As a result, it is common to find Muslim or Christian Indonesians with names that have Indian or Sanskrit nuances. Unlike names derived from Sanskrit in [[Thai language|Thai]] and [[Khmer language|Khmer]], the pronunciation of Sanskrit names in Indonesia is more similar to the original Indian pronunciation, except that "v" is changed to "w", for example, "Vishnu" in India will be spelled "Wisnu" in Indonesia.{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}}
