Gajayana was a king who was so loved by his people, virtuous and doing good for the pastor as well as a full baktu Verily, verily, the sage Agastya. As a token of sincere devotion to the sage, the king Gajayana had built a gorgeous temple to mahresi well as to be an antidote to all diseases and evil empire. If their ancestors had made statues Agstya of sandalwood, the King Gajayana as a statement of devotion and reverence had ordered the famous carvers throughout the kingdom to make a statue of Agastya beautiful black stone, so that all can see it. Agastya statue named Kumbhayoni that, on the orders of a virtuous king was later formalized by the Regveda, the Brahmins, the leading priests and the people of the land who are experts, in Saka, Nayana-Vava-Rase (682) month right Magasyirsa Friday half-light.

As noted therein, the inscription contains elements dating in candrasengkala which reads: "Nayana-vaya-Rase" Caka worth 682 years or 760 years after Christ. If the inscription was issued by King Gajayana in the year 760 AD, then at least the inscription is the oldest written source about the politics facilities Kanjuruan the establishment of the kingdom in Malang. The place is now known as Dinoyo located 5 miles west of Malang. In this place according to residents there, still found Dewasimha statue located in the center of the market despite almost missing buried into the ground. Malangkucecwara derived from three words, namely: Mala which means everything is dirty, cheating, duplicity, or bathil, Angkuca meaning crush or destroy and Icwara meaning God. Thus Malangkucecwara means "GOD DESTROY a false". Although the names of Malang has been ingrained for its residents, but the name is still a question mark. While historians continue to explore other sources to obtain the right answers to the above statement. Until now had obtained some hypotheses about the origin of the name of Malang. Malangkucecwara written in the symbol of the city, according to one hypothesis is the name of a sacred building. Name shrine itself is found in two inscriptions of King Balitung of Central Java which the stele Mantyasih in 907, and the 908 inscriptions found in one place between Surabaya and Malang. However, where is the actual shrine Malangkucecwara it, historians still get the deal. The parties expect the location of the building is in the holy mountains Buring, one that ran in the mountains east of the city of Malang where there is a mountain peak named Malang. Proving the truth of these allegations is still underway as it turns out, the city of Malang west side there is a mountain called Malang. Other parties suspect that the real location of the shrine was located in the area Tumpang, a place in the northern city of Malang. To date in the area there is still a village named Malangsuka, which some historians, probably derived from the spoken word Malankuca reversed. The opinion above is also corroborated by a number of ancient buildings are scattered in the area, such as temples and temple Jago Left, both of which Singasari royal relic. Of the two hypotheses mentioned above still uncertain which of the foregoing would be known by the name derived from the name of Malang shrine Malangkucecwara it.

A copper inscription found at the end of 1974 banh plantation, Wlingi, southwest of Malang, in a part written as follows: "............ taning sakrid Malang-akalihan wacid opponent Macu pasabhanira dyah Spleen Makanagran I .........". The meaning of the above sentence is: "........ the east where hunting around Malang with wacid and Mancu, rice Dyah Spleen is ......... " From the sound of the inscription was apparently Malang is one place in the east of the places mentioned in the inscription tiu. From these inscriptions obtained the evidence that the use of the name of Malang has been at least since the 12th century AD. Previous hypotheses, perhaps in contrast to the opinion that the name Malang suspect comes from the word "Dispute" or "hindered" (in Javanese means Malang). Once Sunan Mataram want to expand its influence in East Java have tried to occupy the area of ​​Malang. Residents of the area to fight a great war. Therefore Sunan Mataram assume that the people area obstruct, deny or poor on purpose Sunan Mataram. Since then, the area was named Malang. The emergence of these Kanjuruhan empire, is seen by historians as an early milestone in the growth of central government, which until now, after 12 centuries ago, has grown to become the city of Malang. After the royal Kanjuruhan, in the golden kingdom Singasari (1000 years after Christ) in the area of ​​Malang still found a prosperous kingdom, many of its inhabitants as well as agricultural lands are very fertile. When Islam conquered the kingdom of Majapahit around the year 1400, the duke of Majapahit fled to the area of ​​Malang. He later founded an independent Hindu kingdom, which by his son fought to advance the kingdom. Center of the kingdom which is located in the city of Malang is still visible remnants of fortress building firm named Kutobedah Kutobedah village. Is Sultan Mataram from Central Java who finally came to conquer this area in 1614 after receiving strong opposition from the residents of this neighborhood. Why Malang?

When the city was celebrating his birthday the 50th of April 1, 1964, the sentences changed to: "Malangkucecwara". New motto is proposed by the late Professor. Dr. R. Ng. Poerbatjaraka, because the word is so closely related to the origin of the city of Malang, in the Ken Arok about 7 centuries ago has become the name of the place around or near the temple named Malangkucecwara.
