Inscriptions are historical sources in the form of documents or charters written on durable and hard materials. The Blanjong Sanur inscription is one such inscription that still exists today and serves as a case study for the author's research. The Blanjong inscription is a historical artifact bearing silent witness to the development of society in the past on the island of Bali. This inscription is located in the village of Sanur Kauh, South Denpasar District, Denpasar City. The method used by the author is qualitative descriptive, consisting of observation, interviews, literature review, and documentation.

Additionally, the surface of the cylinder contains inscriptions that record the victory of Sri Kesari Warmadewa over his enemies in Gurun and Swai.]]>
