This study was designed with the qualitative method, consisting of description, comparative analysis, critics and also interpretation. Based on the research that has been conducted, the prohibition on fishing in the Sang Hyang Tapak Inscription is related to the religio-political context of the reign of King Śrī Jayabhūpati who placed fish as the embodiment of God Vishnu.
