King Jayadewata was often linked with King Siliwangi, the semi-legendary great king of Sunda. Sri Baduga's reign was remembered as the age of peace and prosperity among Sundanese people. Some historian suggests, that the legendary king Siliwangi of Pajajaran, popular in Sundanese oral tradition and literature, was actually based upon him.[2]: 12 However, other historian suggests that King Siliwangi might be inspired by other Sunda king.[1]: 415
