Raja Langit, the celestial emperor
This short note by R.O. Winstedt examines the concept of Raja Langit (the Celestial Emperor) in Malay political and cosmological thought (p. 243).
Summary
The article addresses the figure of Raja Langit as a celestial sovereign concept within the Malay political tradition, a topic Winstedt, as a leading scholar of Malay history and literature, was well positioned to treat. The brief treatment likely situates the concept within the broader framework of Malay kingship ideology and its cosmological underpinnings.
