Mangkubhumi is a term for prime minister which was historically used in kingdoms in Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan during Hindu–Buddhist civilizations in Nusantara.[1] Elsewhere, Mangkubhumi is also referred to as Rijksbestierder, Bendahara, Pepatih Dalem, Perdipati, Pabbicara Butta, Tuan Bicara, Rajabicara, and Tomarilaleng.
At first, the position of Mangkubhumi was given to lower-class people who were not nobles. However, over time the position of Mangkubumi was also held by the Majesty the King and Prince Dipati Anom (the Sultan's brother or the second son of the reigning Sultan), with the title "Prince of Mangkubhumi" and became the highest position under king.
